The former children's services chief who lost her job over the Baby P tragedy lost an appeal against her sacking.

Sharon Shoesmith, 55, was dismissed without compensation from her senior position at Haringey Council in north London last month after a damning report into her department's failings.

She launched an attempt to overturn the decision to sack her but a panel of councillors rejected her appeal.
