Review Opportunities
Dorset Safeguarding Children PartnershipÂ
The Dorset Safeguarding Children Partnership are seeking an independent reviewer to undertake a Local Child Safeguarding Practice Review (LCSPR).
Â
The reviewer will have a background in working with non-accidental injury to non-mobile babies and children, as this will be the focus of the LCSPR. The review will be largely conducted remotely, via email and Microsoft Teams, however there may be a requirement for in person contact with practitioners and family members. Therefore, the ability to travel into Dorset is essential.
The reviewer should have expertise in the following areas:
• Understanding of the national literature and protocols in relation to responding to bruising or other injuries of non-mobile babies and children
• Experience of undertaking a process and systems approach to CSPRs including:
- Examining multi-agency systems and processes around the identification of non-accidental injury of non-mobile babies and children
 - Unpicking any process or system barriers to effective multi-agency working in relation to the identification and multi-agency response to non-accidental in non-mobile babies and children
 - Forming SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Bound) recommendations for the Partnership to take forward the identified learning from the review
