Baby P: child protection censure
Updated on 15 November 2008
The death of Baby P at the hands of his carers prompts more attacks on the child protection system.
But it may be getting more difficult than ever to remove children from abusive families.
The embattled council director at the centre of criticism over the death of Baby P has received some support.
Sixty head teachers in Haringey have signed a letter which describes Sharon Shoesmith as an "effective and committed champion".
But now there are allegations that government reforms to child protection since the death of Baby P may mean that fewer vulnerable children are taken into care.
