Serious Incident Notification Duty on local authorities to notify incidents to the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel 16 C(1) of the Children Act 2004 (as amended by the Children and Social Work Act 2017) states: • Where a local authority in England knows or suspects that a child has been abused or neglected, the local authority must notify the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel if: (a) the child dies or is seriously harmed in the local authority’s area, or (b) while normally resident in the local authority’s area, the child dies or is seriously harmed outside England Ref: WT 2018 Page 84

Rapid Review Requirements The safeguarding partners should promptly undertake a rapid review of the case, in line with any guidance published by the Panel. The aim of this rapid review is to enable safeguarding partners to: • gather the facts about the case, as far as they can be readily established at the time • discuss whethere is any immediate action needed to ensure children’s safety and share any learning appropriately • consider the potential for identifying improvements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children • decide what steps they should take next, including whether or not to undertake a local child safeguarding practice review (or recommend National Review)

Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (CSPR) Two types of CSPR • Local • National

Criteria The criteria which the local safeguarding partners must take into account include whether the case: • highlights or may highlight improvements needed to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, including where those improvements have been previously identified • highlights or may highlight recurrent themes in the safeguarding and promotion of the welfare of children • highlights or may highlight concerns regarding two or more organisations or agencies working together effectively to safeguard and promote the welfare of children • is one which the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel have considered and concluded a local review may be more appropriate

Principles • Reviews should support a shared culture of continuous learning and improvement • Identify opportunities to draw on what works and promotes good practice. • Be proportionate according to the scale and level of complexity • Involve professionals fully to contribute their perspective without fear of blame

Principles continued • Recognises the complex circumstances in which professionals work together to safeguard children • Seek to understand precisely what happened and the underlying reasons that led individuals and organisations to act as they did. • Seeks to understand practice from the viewpoint of individuals involved • Be independent

Value added by practitioners • Hear first hand accounts from those involved with the family • Understand the working practices and environment at the time • Make sense of behaviour / actions & decision making • Allow for personal reflection • Confirm and challenge • Supports learning and improvement

Local Reviews • Two Serious Case Reviews – completed in 2019 • Three Rapid Reviews – 2019 -20

Case Summaries Serious Case Review • Physical Abuse / primary school aged child (Case B) Sustained life threatening head injury / history of service involvement Recent and historic. Rapid Review • 3 week old baby / Sudden unexpected death (case E) Open case to Childrens social work team / elements of unsafe sleeping

Case B - Child R Characteristics - case elements Physical injury / repeated concerns about injuries sustained / disguised compliance by mother / hidden male / reliance on disclosure The key findings from the review • Section 47 child protection procedures were not followed • There weaknesses in the children’s assessment and evidence of confirmatory bias. Influenced by mothers self-reporting and the child’s positive presentation. • Consideration of child R’s lived experiences was inadequate, specifically his experience of thirteen injuries over a period of nine months. • There was an absence of chronologies in case files and to support safeguarding referrals. Both of which could have supported identification of injury patterns earlier.

Case B – Child R Learning Effective Compliance with Interagency Safeguarding Procedure Quality Assessments use of Chronologies

Case E Characteristics - case elements – 3½ week old infant SUDI elements of unsafe sleeping. Substance misuse / Domestic Violence / open Children in Need case at the time of death. Findings • Gaps in the pre-birth assessment • Breakdown in communication / information sharing in relation to Domestic Violence incident • Unsafe sleeping practice • Engagement with the GP Learning • Post birth – risk of relapse (substance / alcohol)

Cross Cutting Themes • Adherence to procedure • Section 47 • Referrals • Private Fostering arrangements • Quality of assessments • Effective use of Chronologies • Unsafe sleeping • Gaps in information sharing • Engagement with GP’s • Escalation

Activity Table discussion Reflect on case summaries and share with colleagues: • • Initial thoughts Surprises Concerns Key learning point

National Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews Current National Reviews Adolescents in need of state protection from criminal exploitation SUDI where children are considered at risk of harm Reviews at planning stage Physical abuse/NAI in children 0 – 1 year with a focus on men as perpetrators – currently in planning stages Other potential areas for review Elective Home Education Parent care leavers

Local Updates John Matravers

Neglect ● “We must be ambitious for all our children” ● Is deprivation now seen as the “new norm”? There are implications for recognition of neglect and what ● ● ● constitutes ‘good enough care’. Neglect is the ongoing failure to meet a child's basic needs and the most common form of child abuse. A child might be left hungry or dirty, or without proper clothing, shelter, supervision or health care. This can put children and young people in danger. And it can also have long term effects on their physical and mental wellbeing. Physical neglect a child's basic needs, such as food, clothing or shelter, are not met or they aren’t properly supervised or kept safe. Educational neglect a parent doesn't ensure their child is given an education or learning opportunites Emotional neglect a child doesn't get the nurture and stimulation they need. This could be through ignoring, humiliating, intimidating or isolating them. Medical neglect a child isn't given proper health care. This includes dental care and refusing or ignoring medical recommendations. https: //www. nspcc. org. uk/what-is-child-abuse/types-of-abuse/neglect/
