Learning Reviews

Learning Reviews are run by members of our Serious and Significant Case Panel on cases where we think there is likely to be valuable learning. This could be a case where there has been particularly good (or bad) multi-agency safeguarding practice. The events are an opportunity for the practitioners that were involved to come together in an informal setting to discuss what worked well, what didn’t work so well and how we could improve practice. As with potential case reviews, if you have a case that you think should be reviewed please speak to your safeguarding lead and complete the referral form.

Self Harm

Sexual Abuse

Rapid Review Group

Tameside has a Rapid Review Group which decides whether serious incidents should be reviewed because there is known, or suspected, abuse or neglect and the case highlights;

• Improvements needed to safeguard and promote the welfare of children
• Recurrent themes in the safeguarding and promotion of the welfare of children
• Concerns regarding 2 or more organisations or agencies working together effectively to safeguard and promote he welfare of children.

Any practitioner can refer a case to the Rapid Review Group with the agreement of their manager. They are encouraged do so for cases where they feel the criteria for a local Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel is met.

Professionals should use the Rapid Review Screening & Notification Form to refer cases to the Rapid Review group.

There are 4 types of case reviews that the Rapid Review group must consider and recommend whether it is appropriate to undertake a;

1. National Child Safeguarding Practice Review
2. Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review
3. Individual Agency Review
4. Learning Review
