Pan-Berkshire Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) Annual Reports
As defined by the Child Death Review Statutory and Operational Guidance statutory guidance the child death review partners (Local Authorities and Integrated Care Boards) must make arrangements to review all deaths of children normally resident in the local area and, if they consider it appropriate, for those not normally resident in the area. These reviews should be carried out through a Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP).
Pan Berkshire CDOP has a joint CDOP that works across the six local authorities in Berkshire – Bracknell Forest Borough Council, Reading Borough Council, Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, Slough Borough Council, West Berkshire District Council, and Wokingham Borough Council in conjunction with Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West ICB and Frimley ICB.
The panel forms a multi-agency group of professionals from health, public health, police, ambulance service, children’s social care, hospice and Daisy’s Dream bereavement charity, who review all deaths of children from birth up to (but not including) their 18th birthday. When reviewing the deaths, the panel will share learning whilst looking for any themes and trends and potential improvements in services with the aim of preventing future deaths. Pan Berkshire CDOP publishes annual reports to summarise findings and trends from child death reviews and these are available on this page.
