Barry Sheerman, Chair of the Committee:

" "What I would suspect, and what my colleagues suspect, is that you will
never be able to eradicate them, you will not."

Even in Denmark, which the committee visited to learn from its well-regarded
child protection and care system, there was still a "fairly serious"
problem.

He said it was important not to have a knee-jerk reaction following a case
like Baby P.

Mr Sheerman told MPs: "There is sometimes a danger that all the resources,
after a tragic death, are rushed into child protection and can actually
starve the resources for the support of families and good quality social
work."

" Children should not start formal schooling until the age of seven,
bringing the UK in line with many EU countries including Norway, an
influential Labour MP (Sheerman) has claimed."
