In Northern Ireland, a review of lessons learnt from Case Management Reviews between 2003 and 2008 has been published. Analysing 24 reviews into the death or serious injury of 45 children, key recommendations include: services becoming involved with families at an earlier stage; services staying involved with families for longer to consolidate improvements; access to therapeutic services for children to address the psychological harm of poor parenting. |
