Serious Case Review Sub Committee

Our aim is to undertake case reviews where a child has died or � in certain circumstances � been seriously harmed, and abuse or neglect are confirmed or suspected. To make sure that any lessons from the case are understood and acted upon. See DoH, �Working Together to Safeguard Children 1999� Section 8 pg 87.

Objectives

  • To share information and determine whether areas of concern should result in an interagency inquiry and to set terms of reference for each inquiry.

  • To give strategic management and leadership to complex investigations and to ensure liaison between agencies.

  • To commission, where necessary, comprehensive investigations of cases and to ensure that the recommendations, progress and outcomes arising out of a serious case review are actively monitored

  • To ensure that appropriate personnel are engaged to conduct the investigation given the nature and sensitivity of any investigation.

  • To assess and manage the risk of impact of the investigation and the potential outcomes for the individuals, communities and agencies concerned.

  • To report to the GSCB the findings of the investigation, with recommendations for action as appropriate.
