Serious Case Review: Agency Briefing Charlie and Charlotte Informing practitioners of issues identified by the review and sharing learning for practice.

Case Summary: Concerns: Charlie and Charlotte were 10 and 7 when they were they were placed on the child protection register, removed from the care of their family and placed into foster care.   Concerns: Parents had children previously removed from another authority as a result of concerns regarding neglect. There was extensive multi-agency involvement for a significant period of time following the children being born. There was lack of any evidence of sustained change in the parent’s ability to meet the children’s needs resulting in: Severe dental decay and failure to ensure appropriate treatment for both children. Permanent visual impairment for both children as a result of parental failure to seek treatment. Variable home conditions from very poor to just good enough over periods of time. Failure to meet a broader range of the children’s health needs over a significant period of time. Extreme behavioural challenges presented in school by Charlotte. Very poor routines for the children meaning that Charlotte regularly fell asleep in school. One child was overweight and the other often refused to eat. Children frequently arrived at school hungry. Poor supervision of the children.

Findings: The lessons learned from this review focus in particular on the ‘start again’ approach taken when mother became pregnant with Charlie which led to an over optimistic and unrealistic assessment of parents’ capacity to care for their children. The learning from this review should be used to influence practice and policy where families have previously had children removed from their care. Additional learning comes from how professionals recognise, assess and respond to risk when sexual/abuse allegations are made by children and young people but do not proceed to criminal proceedings; specifically the difference between evidential thresholds and actual/probable risk. Further learning comes from how practitioners recognise, understand, assess and respond to cases of chronic neglect. For detailed information of the learning in this case please refer to the full version of this document on the LSCB Website. www.durham-lscb.org.uk/professionals/serious-case-review
