Baby P 'failed by protection system'

The "horrifying" death of Baby Peter "could and should have been prevented", a report into his care has said.

A serious case review said agencies lacked "toughness and urgency" by not taking the 17-month-old into care.

Baby Peter died in August 2007 after months of abuse despite being seen by the authorities at least 60 times.

James Westhead reports.
