Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many serious case reviews there have been in each of the last 20 years.
This question was answered on 17th December 2021
Since 2018, Serious Case Reviews (SCR) have been replaced by Local Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (LCSPRs), which introduced a stronger focus on learning from serious incidents. A total of 352 LCSPRs have been initiated since September 2019 when new multi-agency safeguarding arrangements were implemented.
Prior to this, 1,704 SCRs were submitted to the department between 2001 and 2019.
