Working Together to Safeguard Children sets out the duty to undertake child safeguarding practice reviews. The criteria for completing reviews is set out in chapter 5 of Working Together 2023 (PDF 1.94Mb).
Important lessons are learned from the detailed review of cases where children have died or received a life-threatening injury due to abuse or neglect.
Each local child safeguarding practice review is managed by experienced senior managers from partnership agencies. Members are identified according to the needs of each case to make sure that the panel is independent from involvement in the case and has access to any expert knowledge required.
If you have any questions about past serious case reviews, email the SSCP at lsb@stockport.gov.uk.
