Child safeguarding incident notification system

Notify the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel if it’s known or suspected that a child has been abused or neglected.

Use this service if:

• a looked-after child dies including where abuse or neglect is not known or suspected
• a child dies or is seriously harmed in the local authority’s area
• a child dies or is seriously harmed outside England while normally resident in the local authority’s area

Concerned members of public should follow this process to report child abuse
