Changes to notifications of deaths of looked after children and deaths of young people in continuing care or receiving aftercare provision

New arrangements for reviewing and learning from the deaths of children and young people came into force on 1 October 2021.   

The establishment of the National hub for reviewing and learning from the deaths of children and young people and recently published national guidance for child protection committees undertaking learning reviews will require changes to the ways in which local authorities review the deaths of looked after children and young people experiencing care.  

More information about these changes can be found here.
