For now we work in an incident led review system. No matter whether you work in the world of safeguarding adult reviews, domestic homicide reviews or local child safeguarding practice reviews this is the current situation. Even where nationally there is a thematic approach. Even where your local review is being done thematically, it will have been triggered by an incident.
Does that mean that the learning we can elicit is restricted by virtue of it being a ‘poor outcome’ case?
Listen in to hear my take on this. I want to open the debate.
