Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel Third National Review

This month the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel have published their third national review, which provides important learning and recommendations regarding non-accidental injury of babies under 1 year old.

It is a qualitative study of 23 cases from 19 local areas regarding children who died or experienced serious harm, and their father or male carer was the known or suspected perpetrator.

A literature review on the Non-accidental injury of infants by fathers, father-figures and other informal male caregivers is available from The Fatherhood Institute.

We’d encourage all those who work to safeguard children to read the report and to sign-up to their webinar, where they will share key messages from the review.
