Improving the quality and use of serious case reviews

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) and the Social Care Institute for Excellent (SCIE) have published a series of reports and resources to share what they’ve learnt during a joint project on improving the quality of serious case reviews, and using the learning to improve practice. They analysed published reviews and gathered the knowledge and practical experience of front-line staff, managers and leaders across multiple agencies, as part of a project funded by the Department for Education. The resources include a set of 18 quality markers to support local safeguarding children boards and a suite of master-classes for lead reviewers.
