Consultancy
Experienced, independent support
Independent CDOP Chair and experienced senior public health professional, including child death review governance.
Annual reports
Annual reports take considerable time to pull together, and that time usually comes out of someone's day job. We can produce a full draft annual report from your panel data and papers, ready for you to amend, add local context to, and sign off.
The value is not simply in assembling the data. It is in interpreting what the numbers are actually saying, drawing out recommendations that will stand up to scrutiny, and writing for the board or partnership that will receive it.
Audits of local CDR practice
A structured review of how child death review works across your area, looking at process, timeliness, panel function, information flow between partners, and how learning is captured and acted on.
You get a clear picture of what is working, what is not, and a short list of things worth changing.
Quality improvement tools for partners
Where an off the shelf tool does not fit, we can build something around your own processes and paperwork.
These are designed to be used by the people who do the work, not to add another system to maintain.
Support with clustering
More areas are considering clustering arrangements with neighbouring CDOPs. We can facilitate those early conversations and set out the practical options honestly.
That includes working through the governance, hosting, resourcing and cultural questions that decide whether clustering succeeds.
Tools
Tools to save you time and support CDR oversight
As part of child death review oversight, several tools have been developed to support CDR partners to minimise admin time and improve governance.
We also develop bespoke tools to support CDR and safeguarding partners, where what you need does not exist yet.
Nothing leaves your organisation
Every tool runs on your own computer in an ordinary web browser. Nothing is installed, no account is needed, and no information leaves your organisation at any point.

Start with a conversation
