Learning from practice reviews

In September 2019, we published a thematic report reviewing the key themes from serious and local case reviews published between April 2018 and March 2019. Key themes identified were:

• undertaking assessments and the use of historic information
• inquisitive practice and meaningful engagement
• engaging with fathers and new adults in the family
• information sharing and record keeping
• working with neglectful families and understanding sustained change
• children’s attendance at appointments
• multi-Agency Challenge and Escalation
• working with children where the parents have additional needs
• vulnerability of small children and babies
