Learning from Case Reviews

Serious and Significant Case Panel

Tameside has a Serious and Significant Case Panel (SSCP) which oversees all case review activity.

Any practitioner can refer a case to the SSCP with the agreement of their manager. They must do so for cases that they feel meet the criteria for a Serious Case Review and are encouraged to do so for other cases where;

  • A child has been harmed
  • Neglect or abuse was known or suspected
  • there are concerns about the way in which professional services have dealt with the case and from which there is likely to be learning which could improve future practice.

Professionals should use the SSCP Screening & Notification Form to refer cases to the SSCP.

There are 3 types of case reviews that are conducted by TSCB. The SSCP must consider each case and recommend to the Independent Chair of the TSCB whether it is appropriate to undertake a;

  1. Serious Case Review
  2. Multi-Agency Critical Review
  3. Individual Agency Review

Further details on the different types of case reviews and the SSCP Screening and Notification Form can be found in the Learning and Improvement Framework
