A joint Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) has been agreed for the North Yorkshire and York LSCBs
Professionals who become aware of a child death are encouraged to contact the CDOP Administrator/Manager.
Notification should be made as below:
Local Safeguarding Children's Board
CDOP Administrator and Manager |
CDOP Administrator and Manager (Out of hours) c/o Emergency Duty Team |
The information required at the time of notification is contained in the Notification of Child Death Form and includes:
- Childs name
- Date of birth
- Address
- Next of Kin
- Childs GP
- School
- Place of death, time and date
- Brief details regarding nature of death
Once CDOP staff are sure that relevant agencies are aware of the child's death, the next stage of the process is to ensure that they are involved in the preparation for any local case review meeting to investigate and review the circumstances of the case, any contributory factors and the ongoing support needs of the family, and to contribute to the Child Death Overview Panels' review.
Further information about the processes is contained in Section 14, Child Protection Procedures on this website.
