Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews

Safeguarding Practice Reviews have replaced Serious Case Reviews (SCRs).

The new National Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel holds the key responsibility for how the system learns from serious child safeguarding incidents.

The local authority holds the responsibility to make the notification of a serious safeguarding incident. The Stoke-on-Trent Safeguarding Partners will take a lead to ensure learning from reviews is disseminated to the wider workforce and work closely with the National Panel.
