Details
These figures are experimental statistics on serious incidents involving children that local authorities have notified the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel about. This includes the number of notifiable serious incidents by:
- characteristics of the child
- notification nature
- placement type
- whether the child is known to other agencies or has a child protection plan
- region and local authority
Notifiable serious incidents are those that involve death or serious harm to a child where abuse or neglect is known or suspected, and any death of a looked after child.
