This website is run by the Croydon Safeguarding Children Partnership. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, this means you should be able to: Navigate most of the website using a keyboard Zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen Use a screen reader to understand key content Access content across a range of screen sizes and devices We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand. How accessible this website is We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible: Some content does not resize correctly on smaller screens or when zoomed beyond 150% Certain elements have low contrast, which may make it difficult to read for some users The focus indicator is not always clearly visible when navigating via keyboard Some layout features are not fully responsive and can lead to overlapping content Compliance status This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed above. What we’re doing to improve accessibility We are actively working to fix the above issues where possible within the capabilities of the Wix platform. We are regularly testing the website using both the Accessibility Wizard and external tools and will update this statement as improvements are made. Disproportionate burden Some accessibility improvements may require redevelopment outside of our current budget and platform constraints. These include certain structural or layout limitations inherent to the Wix platform. We believe resolving these would be a disproportionate burden at this time, but we are keeping this under regular review.

SPRs are commissioned when a child dies or is seriously harmed, identifying ways to strengthen safeguarding. Explore local and national lessons to improve policy and practice. What happens when a child dies We understand that reporting the death of a child is an incredibly difficult and sensitive task. The following guidance aims to provide the important steps to help ensure the right support and learning can follow. If you are a professional needing to report a child’s death, please complete the eCDOP form using the link below, so that the appropriate agencies are notified and the necessary review processes can begin. Please remember, it is a statutory requirement to notify CDOP of all child deaths from birth up to their 18th birthday. If multiple agencies are involved, please liaise to agree which one will submit the notification. However, unless you know someone else has already done so, please notify CDOP with as much information as possible. Note: Only complete a notification form if you are registering a death for the first time. Complete eCDOP form here Once submitted, a coordinator will contact all professionals and agencies who were involved with the child or family. Those identified will be sent a reporting form to complete and return as soon as possible to support the review process. If abuse or neglect is suspected as a possible cause of death, the Child Death SPOC will inform the Head of Safeguarding for Children and Business Manager of CSCP who will then log a Serious Incident Notification . Child Death Reviews The Child Death Review process applies to all children, defined by the Children Act 1989 as individuals under 18 years of age. A review should be conducted for every child death, regardless of the cause. This includes the death of any live-born baby for whom a death certificate has been issued. Croydon is part of the Southwest London Child Death Overview Panel (SWL CDOP), which also includes the boroughs of Sutton, Merton, Wandsworth, Richmond, and Kingston. All child deaths of Croydon residents will be reviewed by Croydon / SWL CDOP. Prior to review at the SWL CDOP, there will have been a Joint Agency Response (JAR) meeting IF the JAR criteria are met. This must be held within 5 working days of a child’s death. The Joint Agency Response meeting is chaired by the Designated Doctor for Child Death Reviews. Joint Agency Response (JAR) criteria are set out in Working Together 2023 . A JAR is required if a child’s death: is or could be due to external causes is sudden and there is no immediately apparent cause (including sudden unexpected death in infancy/childhood) occurs in custody, or where the child was detained under the Mental Health Act occurs where the initial circumstances raise any suspicions that the death may not have been natural occurs in the case of a stillbirth where no healthcare professional was in attendance. All child deaths will be subject of a Child Death Review Meeting (CDRM). The CDRM is chaired by a Consultant Paediatrician from Croydon University Hospital. This is the multi-professional meeting that takes place prior to the child death review partners review (SWL CDOP). At the meeting, all matters relating to an individual child’s death are discussed by professionals involved with the case. Learning from cases will be published in an annual report this data is also shared with the National Child Mortality Database. eCDOP form child death review process What professionals need to complete Professionals who receive a reporting form are asked to review their agency’s case records for the child or family members. Any information known to them or their organisation should be included on the form. If certain details are not available, please make a note of this on the form, rather than leaving any sections blank.
