Serious case reviews

 

Safeguarding through audit

The NSPCC's online guide to help LSCBs audit the recommendations of serious case reviews (SCRs).

 

When a child dies from abuse or neglect, the local inter-agency group responsible for child protection conduct a review to identify how local professionals and organisations can improve the way they work together to safeguard children.

Following a large number of requests for access to the recommendations contained in serious case reviews, we have produced these pages to help professionals and researchers find the information they require.
