Local Learning Review Subgroup

In line with Working Together 2018, a practice case review will be undertaken for every case where abuse or neglect is known or suspected and either:

• A child dies; or
• A child is seriously harmed and there are concerns about how organisations or professionals worked together to safeguard the child.

“The Kingston and Richmond Safeguarding Children Partnership (KRSCP) for the area in which the child is normally resident should decide whether an incident notified to them meets the criteria for a case review. This decision should normally be made within one month of notification of the incident. The final decision rests with the Chair of the KRSCP. The KRSCP Chair will inform the National SCR panel about their decisions

The Local Learning Review (LLR) Subgroup will review the referrals against the criteria for holding a review and make appropriate recommendations to the KRSCP Strategic Leadership Group. The Subgroup will consider serious cases which do not meet the criteria for holding a formal review, but have a multi-agency element and provide scope for learning around multi-agency practice and procedures. The subgroup will undertake reviews of serious cases and advise the local authority and the KRSCP on lessons to be learned.

This group meets across Kingston and Richmond.
