Summary
Along with the Care Inspectorate, we have established a National hub for reviewing and learning from the deaths of children and young people (National hub). The National hub uses evidence to deliver change. It ultimately aims to help reduce preventable deaths and harm to children and young people.
This is the first data overview report. It summarises national child death data from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023. This is supplemented by an overview of learning from child death reviews carried out from the National hub data collection. The report covers data from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2023. These reviews were carried out by:
- NHS boards
- local authorities
- Health and Social Care Partnerships (HSCPs)
The report concludes with a summary of key learning points and five recommendations.
