Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Safeguarding Children.


Safeguarding Children

He is not in charge. He was seconded immediately at our instigation, with the agreement of Haringey, to work with the existing management of children's services to ensure that the proper procedures were in place and being applied case by case for children there. The accountability and responsibility of the management are as they have been, and the right thing for me to do is to wait for the inspector's report, which I will do. The reason for sending in Mr. Coughlan was to ensure that, in the mean time, we were assured that things were done properly.
