Page 1 of 2 Tameside Safeguarding Children Board has published a Serious Case Review Executive Summary, re child J, completed in March 2009. Child J - Executive Summary Introduction1. Child J was a white British male child born on the 21st May 2006 who died on the 23rd November 2006. The cause of death was bronchial pneumonia. He was not subject of a plan of protection. 2. A Serious Case Review (SCR) examined the involvement of agencies with Child J and his family prior to his death. The purpose of the review is to find out if there are any lessons to be learnt to improve how different services and professionals work together. In particular the review looks at whether decisions and action taken by professionals involved with the family were appropriate and whether with the benefit of hindsight anything could have been done differently. The review does not inquire into how a child died and it does not attribute responsibility for a child’s death. That is the responsibility of the coroner and the courts. The parents were convicted of child cruelty and are serving prison sentences. Click on 'next' to read the full Executive Summary re Child J |
