“Too many vulnerable children are still being let down by the system and we are failing to learn from the worst cases of abuse.” – Christine Gilbert, Ofsted’s chief inspector (19th November 2008)

“This is a tragic and serious loss of life that has got to be investigated properly so that all of the lessons can be learned.” – Gordon Brown (12th November 2008)

“It is our duty to take whatever action is needed to ensure that such a tragedy doesn’t happen again, that lessons are learned and that children in Haringey are safe.” – Ed Balls (12th November 2008)

“It appears that as far as [the Baby P] case is concerned, Haringey have not really learnt from the Victoria Climbie case and we question how much of the [Laming Report] recommendations have been implemented by Haringey social care. It is totally inexcusable.” – Mor Dioum, Director of the Victoria Climbie Foundation (11th November 2008)
