SCR Learning Briefing
Statement on behalf of Leicester Safeguarding Children Partnership Board
Amanda Boodhoo, independent chair of Leicester Safeguarding Children Partnership Board said: “This is a tragic case in which a very young baby died.
“A serious case review (SCR) was commissioned in November 2017, to examine how the agencies of the Leicester Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) worked together in this case. This concluded in 2019. The review was not published at this time due to criminal investigations which have only recently concluded.
“Further consideration has since been given to the publication of the review, and the board has agreed that due to the potential impact on surviving siblings, the report will not be made public. However, all agencies are keen for learning from the review to be shared, so we are today publishing a learning briefing that summarises key findings from the review and actions taken.
“All of the recommendations resulting from the report have already been acted upon.
“The board and all of its members remain committed to constantly reviewing our practice for the benefit of professionals, families and children in Leicester.”
