Children’s campaigners and an MP expressed their fury tonight after a review exposed a series of serious errors led to a five-month-old baby’s death at the hands of her father.

No one will resign for the failings which led to Alisha Allen being removed from the ‘‘at risk’’ register following her family’s move less than a mile from one local authority to a neighbouring council.

With parallels to the now infamous Baby P case, medical staff failed to spot or act on warning signs that Alisha was suffering at the hands of her bullying father Gary Allen, 26, and failing to be protected by her educationally sub-normal mother Claire Morton, 31.

He was jailed for manslaughter for five years, claiming a sudden loss of temper caused him to shake the child to death. The mother admitted causing or allowing her baby’s death and received a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years when the couple were sentenced at Newcastle Crown Court in September.

A Serious Case Review, like one into the Baby P case and one which will look in the handling of Shannon Matthews’s family, was launched into children’s services in Sunderland and County Durham, and health services provided by the City Hospitals Sunderland NHS Trust and Sunderland Primary Care Trust.

Officials in Sunderland considered her ‘‘at risk’’ before she was even born, but when her parents moved from Penshaw to neighbouring Bournmoor, County Durham, the family were downgraded to ‘‘in need’’ after a Child Protection Case Conference.

When a family GP saw her, no action was taken over a bruise, and a nine-day stay in hospital after she failed to gain weight was not followed up by the authorities.

The review found there was poor assessment, planning and information-sharing by the agencies which was made worse by gaps in supervision and case management.

It said: ‘‘There was no one failing in this case that can conclusively be said to have been the major factor that failed to protect Alisha, rather a series of cumulative errors that were either not picked up or not pro-actively addressed.’’ Michelle Elliott, founder of the children’s charity Kidscape, said: ‘‘How many more dead babies do we have to see before we put the proper resources into one person being in charge of one ’at risk’ child?

‘‘We have too many agencies and too little liaison between them. The systems have failed.’’ Labour MP Kevan Jones, whose Durham North constituency covers Alisha’s last home, was furious that ‘‘heads have not rolled’’.

He said: ‘‘The real thing that angers me about this case is that this child was known to the authorities, she was on the ’at risk’ register before she was born.’’ Mr Jones said a Sunderland social worker argued that the family should not be removed from that register after they moved less than a mile over the boundary, but colleagues in Durham over-ruled.

‘‘She should be commended,’’ the MP said.

‘‘In any other walk of life, heads would roll, but no-one seems to be taking responsibility and that is what is unacceptable.’’ Before sentencing Judge David Hodson told the court: ‘‘This case, sadly, is yet another example of the tragic death of a baby in circumstances where there have been undoubted failings within two social services departments.’’ Gail Hopper, chairman of Durham Local Safeguarding Children Board, said recommendations will be acted on to improve how cases are managed and also transferred between authorities.

She added: ‘‘All of the agencies involved are extremely sorry about the death of Alisha and very much regret that Alisha and her family did not receive the level of support they needed.’’ Allen’s sickening abuse was outlined in court, alongside Morton’s inability to stand up to him.

Since Alisha’s death, the couple have had another child, which has been taken into care, and Morton is due to give birth at any time to a child by another man.

Allen has an IQ of just 70, while Morton is ‘‘severely retarded’’, the court heard.

Alisha’s father shook the baby when her cries woke him up at their home in Bournmoor one Sunday morning.

She suffered irreversible brain damage and died in hospital days later.

Neither parent understood how to bring up a baby, and both believed she would deliberately set out to annoy them.

Allen would shout at the baby to ‘‘shut up’’ if she cried, and on one occasion laughed as he sounded a horn in her ear which woke her up.

David Williams, corporate director of children and young people’s services at Durham County Council, apologised.

Claire Vasey, Cabinet member for children and young people’s services at Durham County Council, said: ‘‘This tragedy will always be a matter of deep regret to myself and to those involved.’’ Jan van Wagtendonk, the independent chairman of the Sunderland Safeguarding Children Board, also expressed sorrow.
