Learning across statutory reviews
This VISION policy briefing summarises themes arising from the symposium, Learning across statutory review practices: origins, ambitions and future directions, held as part of the 2024 VISION Annual Conference on 11 June.
The symposium was led by Dr Elizabeth Cook, City, UoL, and Dr James Rowlands, University of Westminster.
The following panellists introduced several of the statutory reviews and shared their thoughts on lessons learnt and the future:
- Dr Bethan Davies, Cardiff University: Wales Single Unified Safeguarding Review (SUSR)
- Professor Emeritus Jonathan Dickens, University of East Anglia: Child safeguarding
- Frank Mullane, Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA): Ambitions for learning and change across systems
- Professor Emeritus Michael Preston-Shoot, University of Bedfordshire: Adult safeguarding
- Sumanta Roy, Imkaan: Domestic Homicide Reviews
After the series of presentations, as part of breakout roundtable discussions, conference attendees were invited to explore how different statutory reviews are conducted and practised, their ambitions, and challenges for the future.
This briefing is for practitioners and managers who participate in or lead statutory reviews. The briefing will also be of interest to policy makers and senior leaders from local and national government who commission or oversee statutory review processes.
The policy is available in the public domain, Learning across statutory review practices: Origins, ambitions, and future directions (figshare.com).
