Learning from other areas
Croydon
During a period of four weeks in the summer of 2017, three Croydon teenagers died in separate incidents. Croydon Safeguarding Children Board has since carried out a thematic review on Vulnerable Adolescents that was published February. 2019 The purpose of the thematic review was to determine whether there were any patterns in the children's experiences, for example where they lived, where they went to school, their family care and the multi-agency services that were provided or offered. The intention was to learn from the experiences of these children to inform future service provision. The Review resulted in five key findings and 15 recommendations.
The CSCP has produced a briefing, as the learning from the review is not specific to Croydon but has national implications [/downloads/download/5668/croydon_scb_thematic_review_vulnerable_adolescents]. Please reflect on the learning that was identified.
