Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews and Learning Reviews

Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews (CSPRs) are a statutory process governed by Chapter 5 of Working Together 2023

They are designed to identify improvements in systems and processes so that agencies can learn lessons and improve the way they work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.

When a child or young person dies or is seriously harmed, and abuse or neglect is suspected or a known factor, the LA notifies the National CSPR Panel and the SSCP CSPR and Audit group will undertake a rapid review. 

A CSPR may then also be undertaken (or some other form of learning review) if it would lead to further learning that would be of benefit locally or nationally.
