The Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel’s national safeguarding practice review into safeguarding children with disabilities and complex needs in residential settings in England.1
The review was divided into two phases, the first looking at learning at the local level, and the second looking at implications at the national level.
The government published its response to phase two of the review in December 2023.2
Our briefing summarises findings from the two phases of the review and the government's response.
