(asked on 21st February 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many open serious case reviews there are into perinatal deaths in England.
This question was answered on 2nd March 2020
A Serious Case Review is the terminology previously used to describe the local agency joint response review into safeguarding concerns (e.g. concerns about neglect, abuse) where the child has died or been seriously harmed. These are now referred to as Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews.
Information on the number of open cases of Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews is not held centrally.
