Baby P social worker forced out of her home, court hears Ms Ward had to permanently move home and "was advised to disguise herself," she told London's High court: She had members of the public and press outside her house with members of the public calling her a murderer. Mrs Christou was subjected to similar, albeit less severe harassment. A Watford employment tribunal concluded in 2010 that the local authority acted reasonably in dismissing them because of serious failings in their care of the toddler. The women then challenged that ruling at the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) in central London, but their appeals were dismissed in May last year. The EAT ruled that the employment tribunal did not "err in law or come to perverse conclusions" in rejecting their claims for unfair dismissal. Peter, who was originally known as Baby P before his name became public, was 17 months old when he died in Tottenham, north London, on August 3 2007. He had suffered more than 50 injuries despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months. Ms Ward and Mrs Christou were sacked after an investigation which discovered there was a period in mid-2007 when they did not know where the child was. Sharon Shoesmith, the Haringey children's services director who won a landmark Court of Appeal ruling that she was unfairly sacked over the Baby P tragedy, was present in court for the hearing in support of the two women. The appeals brought by Ms Ward and Mrs Christou are opposed by Haringey. Lord Justice Laws, Lord Justice Elias and Lord Justice McCombe reserved judgement. Lord Justice Laws described it as an "important and in some ways anxious case."
