Serious case review in relation to Child J who died due to non-accidential injuries. Child J was the second child of Adult P, a young white British woman in her early 20s Child J and family had contact with a range of services. Four referrals to Children’s Social Work were made during Child J's life but none led to child protection or other legal procedures being instigated. These included a referral made by the police due to an incident of domestic abuse, which led to an initial assessment by Children's Social Work. On the day of Child J’s death, a 999 call was made by Adult P who said that Child J had fallen an hour previously. Child J died a day later. The review looks at risks, assessment and decision making, using and sharing information; and practice support and supervision.
