A guide to serious case reviews for staff and managers
The death or serious injury of a child is a distressing event for everyone and when this then leads to inquiries being made about the work of professionals who were providing services to the child and family it can lead to staff/professionals feeling very anxious. That is why it is important that all staff involved in the process of a serious case review (SCR) into the death or serious injury of a child have a clear understanding about why the review is happening, what it expects to achieve, what it involves, what is expected of them and what is the timeframe. The purpose of the Guide to Serious Case Reviews for staff and managers leaflet (47KB PDF file) is to go someway to alleviating these concerns.
