DCSF: Analysing Child Deaths and Serious Injury through Abuse - What can we Learn? A Biennial Analysis of Serious Case Reviews 2003-05 Research Information

DescriptionSerious case reviews are carried out when abuse and neglect are known or suspected factors when a child dies (or is seriously injured or harmed), and there are lessons to be learnt about inter-agency working to protect children. At least every two years, an overview analysis of serious case reviews in England is conducted to draw out themes and trends, so that lessons learnt from these cases as a whole can inform both policy and practice. This is the third such overview analysis and involved a near-total sample of 161 cases.
