Coventry Safeguarding Children Board


Child Protection Panel - in Health

Co-chaired by the Designated Doctor and Designated Nurse for Child Protection.

Health organisations have participated in the establishment of Child Death Review Panels and continue to contribute to the development of the panel.

This group was introduced following government guidance 1995, ‘Clarification of Working Arrangements between NHS and other agencies’ (DOH). It recognised the complexity of communication within and across health. Specifically it aims to ensure communication and resolution of issues across the health economy in Coventry. The Panel facilitates NHS Trusts in ensuring that effective arrangements are in place.

Chair Dr Annie Callaghan and Mary Weeks
