  'To whistleblow is like a death sentence': five people who risked everything to speak out
  Five brave ex-employees tell what it's like to stick your head above the parapet
  
  Nevres Kemal was a social worker with Haringey Council between 2004 and 2007.
  
  After raising concerns with senior managers about child protection failings there, she wrote
  
  a letter in February 2007 to the Department of Health warning that children in the borough were at risk.
  
  Six months later, 17-month-old Peter Connelly (Baby P) died at the hands of his mother
  
  and two other men, despite receiving more than 60 visits from council health and social workers.
  
  Ms Kemal, who did not work on the Baby P case, eventually lost her job
  
  (due to an unrelated complaint).
  
  She has since set up a charity, the Raising My Voice Foundation, for
  
  whistleblowers in her local community.
