Promotion for council boss ‘who silenced sex ring whistleblower’: Oxford child care chief in £150,000 post
‘A council chief who backed the Baby P social workers and has been accused of silencing a whistleblower over the Oxford child sex ring scandal has been promoted to a top job in local government.
Andy Couldrick, 52, was head of children’s social care at Oxfordshire County Council when he allegedly thwarted a former police officer’s attempts to raise concerns about child abuse by Asian men.
But in 2011 – after his controversial intervention, which was detailed in an official report earlier this week – Mr Couldrick was appointed chief executive of Wokingham Borough Council in Berkshire on £155,000 a year.’
