Child Death Review Report : Scottish Government Child Death Review Working Group

A report by a Scottish Government short-life working group which explored current practice in Scotland and considered whether Scotland should introduce a national collaborative multi-agency system for reviewing the circumstances surrounding the death of a child.


Recommendation

38. The Child Death Review Working Group recommends Option 3: that Scotland should introduce a national Child Death Review System and that a Steering Group be established to develop the process and to identify costs and funding, taking into account a pilot which is currently underway (see Appendix 8) which will inform the way the system is set up and the most cost effective way of delivering the components.
