Child Safeguarding Review Panel (National Panel)

The Child Safeguarding Review Panel is a National Panel that meets regularly to decide whether to commission national reviews of child safeguarding cases that are notified to it. The panel’s decisions are based on the possibility of identifying improvements from cases which it views as complex or of national importance.

Local authorities should notify the national review panel:

• if a child dies or is seriously harmed and abuse or neglect is known or suspected:
  • in their area
  • outside of England, but they’re normally resident in their area
• to report the death of children looked after by a local authority whether or not abuse or neglect is known or suspected

A list of published national reviews and briefing papers is available.
