If you have a case that needs to be considered by our Rapid Review Panel, you need to complete a notification form.

Make a notification

If it is urgent, and particularly if there are any significant media interest, please call 03000 42 11 26, before completing and submitting the notification form.

Following the submission of a notification, a rapid review will be commenced where the key points of contact across all our multi-agency partners will be contacted to determine if their agency was involved in the case and if so, to request a summary of this involvement be provided in a report.

There is a timescale of 15 days in which the Rapid Review Panel must make a decision about whether the case meets the criteria for a child safeguarding practice review (based on the information provided by agencies) and send this recommendation to the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel who will respond in approximately 10 days with their decision.
