The SCIE model
At a glance 01: Learning together to safeguard children: a ‘systems’ model for case reviews
Previous development work
Phase 1. Preliminary explorations
- Tentative first steps; focused on 'near misses':
- What kinds of near misses currently occur?
- Mechanisms & obstacles to learning from them?
Publication: SCIE Report 6: Managing risks and minimising mistakes in services to children and families.
Phase 2. Developing the adapted model
- In conjunction with Prof. Munro, focused on methods for analysis in case reviews and how the systems model needed to be adapted for reviewing multi-agency safeguarding practice.
Publication: SCIE Guide 24: Learning together to safeguard children: developing a multi-agency systems approach for case reviews.
Phase 3 Developing the evidence base
- High levels of interest from the sector following publications & presentations led to SCIE offer regional 'pilots' - collaborative, developmental pieces of work
- 1st pilots: North West, three case reviews (completed November 2010)
- 2nd pilots: West Midlands, three case reviews (completion May 2011)
