Under the Government guidance 'Working Together to Safeguard Children 2006', local areas may commission a Serious Case Review into the death of a child or cases when a child has 'sustained a potentially life-threatening injury through abuse or neglect', to identify whether lessons should be learned by the agencies involved with the family.
Within Stockton the LSCB has decided to follow the serious case review process where they consider there are lessons to be learnt in order to keep children and young people safe, even though the criteria as outlined in Working Together may not have been met.
Access to the Executive Summaries of Case Reviews (Serious/Management) that have been commissioned by the Stockton-on-Tees Local Children Safeguarding Board and its predecessor the Stockton-on-Tees Area Child Protection Committee are below:
