The government has finally agreed to open the formal inquiries we demanded. I am drained from this long fight but knowing we forced this accountability makes it worth the heavy toll. Keep watching to ensure they actually follow through on these promises.
Baby P was a 17 month old baby boy who died on 3rd August, 2007 after suffering months of abuse inflicted on him by his mother, her boyfriend and their lodger.
He was visited over 60 times during this period by various health and social workers, yet he was allowed to remain with the very people who ultimately took his life.
The mother, her boyfriend and their lodger have been convicted of causing or allowing the death of a child and will be sentenced in spring 2009.
We are demanding immediate independent public enquiries to investigate the following:
- Social Services Procedures
- Review of Current NICE Guidelines for
Recommended Contact by Health Professionals
in Infancy
- Demand a GMC Hearing for Dr Sabah Al Zayyat
- Review of Custodial Sentencing for Child Abuse
and Murder Cases
- Review of the Findings and Recommendations of
Victoria Climbie enquiry.
We, the undersigned, petition the Gordon Brown, Prime Minister to ensure the relevant Government departments conduct the aforementioned enquiries, and to ensure these failures are never allowed to happen again.
In memory of all babies and children who have suffered.
Ten thousand people have added their names to this demand for accountability. It is exhausting to look at the scale of these failures, but knowing so many of you are watching alongside me keeps me going.

The weight of this work is exhausting but we are nearing ten thousand signatures. Please keep pushing this forward because we cannot let them forget what happened to him.

A thousand people have added their names to this demand for accountability. It is draining to keep reliving these details but seeing your support makes it clear that we are not alone in wanting answers.

Absolute disgrace. 60 visits and still nothing was done? Heads need to roll for this. Poor little boy never stood a chance.

How can 60 people visit and not see what was happening right in front of them? System is broke.

Lock them up and throw away the key. Makes me sick to my stomach thinking about what that baby went through.

Unbelievable. Nobody stepped in to save him despite all those checks. Someone needs to be held accountable for this failure.
