ICON 7 minute briefing
On behalf of the Sandwell Learning from Practice Reviews subgroup, these briefings are being shared following two Spotlight Review referrals. These were regarding children who were exposed to harm and where multi agency learning was identified. The briefings focus on two key themes: working with families who speak English as an additional language/who do not speak English, and working with children who have parents with mental health issues.
In the Black Country we have sadly heard local cases in the Child Death Overview Panel that have involved a child known to have Epilepsy, therefore the below briefing has been created and is being shared with all professionals in order to support children and young people with Epilepsy.
