Following a serious safeguarding incident, local safeguarding partners are required to submit a rapid review to the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel. The panel is responsible for identifying and overseeing the review of serious child safeguarding cases in England. If a case raises issues that are complex or of national importance, the decision may be made to commission an in-depth Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review (LCSPR).
The University of East Anglia and the University of Birmingham, reviewed all 33 completed LCSPRs received between 1 October 2019 and 31 December 2020 and a sample of around a quarter (135) of the rapid reviews completed in January to December 2020.1
