Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lord Laming's Progress Report.


Lord Laming's Progress Report

In his statement, my right hon. Friend said that improvement notices and additional support were now in place in Birmingham. Meetings attended by Members with both Ofsted and the city council have featured a spirit of openness and co-operation, but as my right hon. Friend said, serious case reviews must remain confidential. How can it be ensured that organisations do not return to their instinctive practice of using the need for confidentiality as a reason to be extremely inward-looking, and thus to avoid accountability?
