Serious Case Reviews

Occasionally a child dies or is seriously harmed and there are questions about how services supporting or protecting that child went about their business.

Local Safeguarding Children Boards are required to produce a 'Serious Case Review' to consider what can be learnt from such cases and how services can be improved. Findings from these reviews are sometimes reported in the media.

Cheshire East LSCB has produced a general leaflet 

Serious Case Review: Information for parents, carers and professionals
