Social workers at the centre of the Victoria Climbie inquiry, which opens this week, will not be called to give evidence until November, the provisional witness timetable published this week reveals.

Lisa Arthurworrey, who was Climbie's allocated social worker, is expected to give evidence to phase one of the public inquiry in the week of 19 November. Angella Mairs, Arthurworrey's team leader, and Mary Richardson, then director of social services at Haringey, are both expected to give evidence in the week of 26 November.

Arthurworrey and Mairs were suspended in October 2000 and March 2001 respectively, and council disciplinary proceedings against them are due to go ahead once they are released from giving evidence to the public inquiry.

Evidence from staff at Ealing Council is due to be heard next week, followed by staff at Brent Council the week after.

A new Victoria Climbie inquiry website providing a schedule of witnesses, daily transcripts, and written witness statements of people who have finished giving their evidence can be found at www.victoria-climbie-inquiry.org.uk
