This review involves a Pembrokeshire baby, referred to as Child H, who died as a result of an unexplained infant death at seven weeks old. The child’s parents were both under the age of 20 years at the time of the birth. The purpose of the Serious Case Review was to examine the involvement of the agencies that had significant involvement with Child H and family, including those with child protection, child welfare, health and criminal investigation responsibilities. The review recommended the Minutes of multi-agency meetings held under Child Protection Strategy procedures should record any discussion that takes place and provide an analysis as to how any decisions are reached. Further training should be provided for all Agencies in Child Protection, and particularly the relevance of risk factors for infants. A clear written contract should be in place when a baby, who is thought to have been abused, is placed within the family before a formal Child Protection plan is agreed by a Child Protection Conference. Finally, written medical reports should be available at Strategy meetings, particularly when the relevant medical staff are unable to attend.
