Another serious child abuse case is being investigated at Haringey Borough Council - just a month after a scandal that echoed that of Baby P.

A serious case review (SCR) has started just weeks after the council was criticised for failing to protect three-year-old Child T, who was beaten so badly with a stick, cable and belt that he was hospitalised.

Haringey's local safeguarding children board's (LSCB), who commissioned the report, confirmed it was investigating another case of child abuse but said it could not comment either.

It has been reported that two adults have been arrested and charged with child abuse and alleged victim has been taken into care.

The news has prompted fresh calls for independent review of the borough’s children’s services for the Lynne Featherstone MP.

The Hornsey and Wood Green MP said: “It is just awful to hear that Haringey Council has launched another serious case review, after failing to protect yet another local child.

“I was leader of the opposition at the council during the Victoria Climbié tragedy, and I remember Haringey Labour and council officers saying that lessons will be learnt.

“Since then, they have said the same things over and over again – yet these shocking cases keep appearing.”

Ms Featherstone spoke of her anger at the council’s inability to change and said no more children should pay the price for the authority’s failures.

Haringey has had four directors of children's services in the past five years and a high turnover of middle managers.

Last week Sharon Shoesmith, the former director of children's services at the council, received a £600,000 payout for being sacked in the wake of the Baby P scandal.

She won a court case against the council where she argued that she had been unfairly dismissed and had been used as a political scapegoat.

Tracey Connelly, the mother of 17-month old Peter (Baby P), was released from prison on parole last week.

She was jailed indefinitely in 2009, to serve a minimum of five years, for allowing her son to be tortured to death by her boyfriend and his brother.

The 17-month-old infant died at the family home in Penshurst Road, Tottenham, on August 3, 2007, after suffering more than 50 separate injuries.

Last month, Diana Onyango, a council social worker, was suspended for failing to raise the alarm about a 12-year-old girl who had been sexually abused by her mother's boyfriend.

The Health and Care Professions Council criticised the council for its overall lack of “challenging supervision”.

It said the authority had failed to notice Onyango had been out of her depth and struggling.

She was suspended for 12 months.

Opposition councillor Katherine Reece, the Haringey Lib Dem children’s spokesman, attacked the Labour-run council for its repeated failures.

She said: “It is terribly worrying that despite the Labour-run council saying lessons have been learned, we see the emergence of another allegation of a tragic case of a child being failed.“

Cllr Reece also called for an independent investigation into the borough's children's services.

A council spokesperson said: "We have made a number of improvements to children’s services in the past few years, which have been recognised by Ofsted and led to the service being removed from government oversight in April 2012.

“We are committed to a culture of continued partnership working, learning and improvement and safeguarding remains a priority for the council.

“In mid-November, the council’s cabinet will be agreeing further substantial investment in a children’s services programme to consolidate and build further on the improvements already made.”
