A former Scotland Yard detective who worked on child safeguarding after the Baby P scandal has accused the Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, of failing to act on warnings of inaccurate or missing information in police databases, putting children at risk.
Bernadette Murray worked for a multi-agency team based in Haringey, north London, set up after the death of Peter Connelly, known as Baby P, in August 2007. Official reports found baby Peter had been failed by almost every member of staff who came into contact with him.
