NCB Now: Young people give views on child deaths

1 min read
Earlier this year the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health (Cemach) and NCB gave young people the chance to debate their views on child deaths as part of the Child Death Review. The results of the project will shortly be available to download from NCB's web site.

NCB's participation unit was commissioned to facilitate a series ofconsultations where young people discussed three real-life cases, howthey felt the cases should have been managed, and what could have beendone to avoid them.

Participants felt that reading the case studies would educate the publicabout possible harmful events and thus help to stop them.

The young people suggested that their findings should be published asthat would help increase awareness. One young participant commented that"people will be more aware of how accidents happen and can prevent themhappening again."

In addition, the young people felt it was important that professionalbodies and government organisations were made aware of findings from theChild Death Review, so that action could be taken to make children'slives safer.
