The Local Safeguarding Children’s Board examine cases when a child dies and abuse or neglect are known or suspected to be a factor in their death. These will involve the local authority children’s services, the police, educational and health personal, and other agencies as needed.
Each of these services will look at the causes and see if there is anything that could be changed in their procedures to make sure that it will not happen again. This process is not designed to apportion blame, but to improve the services and ensure that lessons were learnt.
