Serious cases
Serious case reviews and work in relation to unexpected child death.
The OSCB will undertake reviews of cases where a child has died or has been seriously harmed in circumstances where abuse or neglect is known or suspected, and identify lessons to be learned and acted upon by relevant agencies.
The OSCB will operate to the Working Together guidelines and its own set of procedures to guide its work in this area. Such guidelines cover:
- defining terms of reference
- commissioning reviews
- engaging an independent person
- receiving and discussing the report
- agreeing recommendations
- approving an Action Plan
- monitoring the implementation of the plan and disseminating the lessons
Action Plan implementation will be overseen by the monitoring and evaluation subgroup
