Safeguarding unit to improve serious case review work

1 min read Social Care
A cross-governmental group is to develop a model for the training and recruitment of serious case review panel chairs and report authors in an attempt to improve learning.

The National Safeguarding Delivery Unit was created to drive forward the government's response to the 58 recommendations outlined in Lord Laming's review of child protection published in March.

Having started work in July the unit has now published its interim report, which sets out progress made so far by the government and 10 programmes undertaken by the unit for 2009/10.

Projects include improving the supply and capacity of professionals able to carry out safeguarding work, identifying gaps in implementing guidance on information sharing, how serious case reviews can result in more effective learning and revising the current set of safeguarding performance indicators in the national indicator set.
