Andrea Hill leaves Suffolk County Council

It is widely reported on Twitter that Andrea Hill is to leave Suffolk County Council. It is understood she will receive a year's salary (some 218K) as a pay off under a so-called "compromise agreement". These kind of agreements (which Andrea Hill her self was a keen user of) mean the employee receives money in return for waiving their right to sue so it will at least limit the financial cost. The Councillors making the decision no doubt had the Sharon Shoesmith case in mind, with the potential cost of millions when deciding her future.
