The death of a child on the child protection register

This article uses the tragic death of a child on the child protection register to identify management issues and events. In so doing the article seeks to show what the likely chain of events will be and how managers can anticipate and respond to these. The article notes the responsibilities of managers to support staff and suggests ways in which this can be done. In particular, attention is paid to approaching the funeral, the child protection committee report and criminal proceedings. The article recognises that sadly children will continue to die whether they are on the child protection register or not, and although each such event is traumatic, there is no need for managers to make them even more so
