Here is the start of what I put, I went on and answered this on a different computer so I do not have my final answer to post sorry. I hope it helps.

Task 1.4

The purpose of serious case reviews is to enable lessons to be learned from cases where a child dies or is seriously harmed and abuse or neglect is suspected as being a contributing factor. A well known recent example of this is the 'Little Ted's' case, and by examining the conditions which allowed or contributed to this case can help to prevent similar cases occurring in the future. These case reviews not only help to inform and improve practice within setting across the country but can also insure that there is not a knee jerk reaction which limits positive experiences which children in settings may have. The idea of banning mobile phones from settings was muted after the Little Ted's case, however

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.

this is good info from mark but remember analysis is far far deeper you need to use examples and connect them to law and guidelines you also need to give pros and con for each section. i would be looking for a t least one mention of climbie and the following report inc how it impacted on practice ie ECM etc.
