The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tim Loughton on 2014-03-27.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions (a) he and (b) other Ministers in his Department have had with members of the National Panel on Serious Case Reviews.
Mr Edward Timpson
My Rt hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and I had a meeting with the members of the panel of independent experts on Serious Case Reviews earlier this year.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tim Loughton on 2014-03-27.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, on what dates the National Panel on Serious Case Reviews has met; and if he will publish the minutes of that Panel’s meetings.
Mr Edward Timpson
The national panel of independent experts on Serious Case Reviews has met on the following dates:
1. 25 July 2013
2. 9 September 2013
3. 11 November 2013
4. 13 January 2014
5. 10 February 2014
6. 10 March 2014
The key output of the panel meetings is letters from the panel to Local Safeguarding Children Boards making recommendations on the cases put to them, about the application of the SCR criteria, the appointment of reviewers and the publication of SCR reports. The letters refer to sensitive material not in the public domain and would not therefore be routinely publishable.

136 SCRs are currently in progress. 30 SCRs have been notified as not for publication due to compelling reasons related to the welfare of the children directly related to these cases.
22 SCRs have been completed and have not yet been published due to outstanding police investigations, criminal proceedings and welfare issues.
We have set up a national panel of independent experts who will advise and challenge LSCBs on any case where an LSCB has concerns about the publication of an SCR report and/or intends not to publish an SCR report.
