Baby P

Tracey Connelly admitted causing or allowing the death of her son Peter in north London in 2007.

The decision was meant to be made last year but had been delayed for more reports and information. The picture painted of Connelly in court was of a woman who was at best uninterested in her child. A spokesperson for the Parole Board said: "We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Tracey Connelly following an oral hearing. The Parole Board considered her case for a third time in 2019 following previous reviews in 2015 and 2017, and refused to either release her or move her to an open prison. He made the announcement as he told MPs about a "root and branch" review of the parole system. He told the House of Commons: "In light of the Parole Board's direction to release Tracey Connelly, I should inform the House that having carefully read the decision, I have decided to apply to the Parole Board to seek their reconsideration."

It is understood all the professional witnesses who gave evidence to the Parole Board's review said the toddler's mother Tracey Connelly poses a low risk of reoffending. The justice secretary Mr Raab also told the Commons he plans a "root and branch" review of the parole system.

The board faced widespread criticism over its handling of the case of Black Cab rapist John Worboys – a serial sex offender convicted in 2009 for attacks on 12 women. He fled an open prison in Boston, Lincolnshire earlier this year and was on the loose for four days, which led to the MoJ insisting Mr Raab will have more control over the transfer of prisoners in the most high-risk cases. Victims will get rights to attend Parole Board hearings in full and ask questions. The Parole Board recommended earlier this year that he be transferred to a lower security jail, however this was overruled by Justice Secretary Dominic Raab. He was recommended for release in 2018, but just weeks later, the decision was overturned after it was challenged by two of his victims. I believe it is wrong and that our reforms will ensure that those who we charge with making finely balanced assessments of future risk have greater first hand operational experience of protecting the public from serious offenders. The Parole Board's critics claim it is packed with 'do-gooders' who are too sympathetic towards criminals 'rights'. I am not satisfied our approach is as robust as it needs to be.' The proposals in this review will enforce public safety.' The plans will grant Justice Secretary Dominic Raab the final say on the release of about 660 offenders a year. He was backed by Shadow justice secretary, Steve Reed, who described Connelly's release as 'disturbing news'. In 2020, she lost another appeal.

It added: "In this case, the practice of the majority, both individually and collectively... Child protection officers should have realised psychopath Barker was living in the same house. Their approach was completely inadequate and did not meet the challenge of the case." Social workers should have been on their guard because of the state of the house, which was "disorganised, dirty and smelly: it smelled of urine from the dogs", and the children, who all had head lice. Dr Sabah al-Zayyat failed to fully examine the baby and did not notice his broken back and was removed from the medical register. The toddler's social worker was told his mum had a partner but did not ask who he was or to meet him. The "horrifying death should have been prevented" and abuse "stopped in its tracks at the first serious incident". The papers detailed the horrifying extent of blunders that led to the 17-month-old being tortured and beaten to death. The decision was made after the panel heard evidence from psychiatrists and prison officials, who said unrepentant Barker had failed to address his sickening urges, it is reported. Last March the tragic tot's stepdad has had his parole bid refused, and was told he must remain in high-security prison for refusing to confront his crimes. The Parole Board considered her case for a third time in 2019 following previous reviews in 2015 and 2017, and refused to either release her or move her to an open prison. In a statement a spokesperson for the Parole Board said: “We can confirm that a panel of the Parole Board has directed the release of Tracey Connolly following an oral hearing.

Tracey Connelly was jailed at the Old Bailey in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son Peter at their home in north London.

The Parole Board said on Wednesday: “After considering the circumstances of her offending and time on licence, the progress made while in custody, the evidence presented at the hearing and the recommendations of the witnesses, the panel was satisfied that Ms Connelly was suitable for release.” Connelly was let out on licence in 2013 but was recalled to prison in 2015 for breaching her parole conditions. Tracey Connelly was jailed at the Old Bailey in 2009 for causing or allowing the death of her 17-month-old son Peter at their home in Tottenham, north London, on August 3 2007.

In 2020 she lost an appeal against the latest Parole Board decision not to release her. The Parole Board considered her case for a third time in 2019 following previous reviews in 2015 and 2017, and refused to either release her or move her to an open prison. This is her fourth review by the Parole Board since she was jailed.

It added that witnesses told the panel Connelly posed a low risk of reoffending. Connelly was released in 2013 but was returned to prison two years later for breaching her parole conditions. However, in general it says “it will be unusual for a decision to change”.

The decision from the Parole Board over Tracey Connelly - the mother of Baby P - came this morning.

It added: "In this case, the practice of the majority, both individually and collectively... Child protection officers should have realised psychopath Barker was living in the same house. The second review, ordered after the first was ruled inadequate, was scathing. A GP failed to act over his bruises, police did not investigate injuries and a meeting on putting him into care was delayed. Notice should have been taken of Connelly's troubled childhood. Connelly admitted the offence and was handed a sentence of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) with a minimum term of five years. Their approach was completely inadequate and did not meet the challenge of the case." Last year it was reported Connelly may have to agree to undergo lie detector tests to prove she is not reoffending. Social workers should have been on their guard because of the state of the house, which was "disorganised, dirty and smelly: it smelled of urine from the dogs", and the children, who all had head lice. She was subsequently held at Low Newton high-security jail in Co Durham. The Parole Board considered her case for a third time in 2019 following previous reviews in 2015 and 2017, and refused to either release her or move her to an open prison.

However, three months after the baby was born, he left her and moved out. In 2009, Barker was handed a 12-year jail sentence over the death of Baby P and a 10-year sentence for raping a two-year-old girl. Owen was a drug addict, and was sentenced to a minimum term of three years, which was later changed to a fixed term of six years for allowing the toddler to die. However, Baby P was returned to his mother on 26 January 2007 - and she had moved to a house in Tottenham, but the social services didn’t know that Barker had also moved with her. Four days later, the baby was discharged but placed in the care of a family friend while police and social workers investigated. On 11 December 2006, a month after Connelly’s boyfriend Steven Barker moved into the family home, she took her son to a GP - who sent her to Whittington Hospital in Archway, based on his injuries and her story not matching up.

The Justice Secretary said he would ask the parole board to reconsider its decision to release Tracey Connelly after 15 years.

Protecting the public is our number one priority.” She made three failed bids for freedom in 2015, 2017 and 2019. But Mr Raab signalled his intention to contest the decision, telling the House of Commons: “Having carefully read the decision, I have decided to apply to the Parole Board to seek their reconsideration.”
