Debating the crux of the 'Baby P' case

Predicting risk and the role of serious case reviews – key aspects of the anxieties generated in the UK by the 'Baby P' tragedy – are being discussed at this week's Centre for Soclal Policy seminars at Dartington.

Contributors include Gillian Downham and Richard Lingham who will be describing their research into mental health serious case reviews, Wendy Rose from the Open University on how to improve safeguarding practice and the Social Research Unit’s Nick Axford on how to define and measure ‘service’. 
The Centre for Social Policy was set up in 1995 to complement the work of The Social Research Unit. The aim was to establish an organisation for researchers, managers and professionals to maintain their interests and facilitate their work during or immediately before their retirement from their principal career.
