death

Document that sets out the approach to caring for dying people that health and care organisations and staff caring for dying people in England should adopt in future.

Terminally ill people and their families were placed at the heart of the development and design of the research in order to:

Report of a survey of Child Death Overview Panels (CDOPs) across England around handling of information about child deaths, actions and recommendations resulting from reviews and how to make better use of information collected by CDOPs.

Report that sets out the findings of the overview, examining deaths in children aged one to 18 years in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland from 1980 to 2010.

Third report from the National Drug Related Deaths Database (NDRDD) for Scotland which presents data for the calendar year 2011. The NDRDD was established to collect detailed information regarding the nature and social circumstances of individuals who have died a drug-related death.

This report supplements the routine reporting of drug related deaths in Scotland by the National Records of Scotland (NRS), formerly known as the General Register Office for Scotland.

Report that aims to:

• identify characteristics of those children who have died and the reasons for each of their deaths
• consider the circumstances of their deaths and comment on the reports local authorities provide
• identify any possible implications for the future care of children and young people, always with an eye to whether there are lessons to be learned.

This interim report summarises data from Serious Case Reviews (SCR) notified to the Department for Education during 2009-10.

The aim of this work is to provide up to date, comprehensive data on serious and fatal maltreatment of children in England, and to set those data in the context of other relevant data on children’s health, well-being and possible harm. This has been achieved through a descriptive analysis of Serious Case Reviews from 2009-10, using data from the database reports.
