Headline changes include:
LSCBs (Local Safeguarding Children Boards) and Serious Case Reviews will be replaced with a national Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel looking at cases which are deemed complex or of national importance, while local cases will be dealt with by Local child safeguarding practice reviews and Child Death Review Panels (CDRPs). Local child safeguarding practice reviews will look at ‘serious child safeguarding cases which raise issues of importance in relation to the area’, while CDRPs are tasked specifically with reviewing cases where a child died.
