Proceeding contribution from Ann Coffey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.


Health and Education

One of the failures identified in Haringey was the insufficient challenge by the local safeguarding children board to its members and front-line staff. Often the chairs of these boards are also the chairs of children's services. Has the Secretary of State given any further consideration to the conflicts of interest that arise in that situation and to having independent chairs?
