Child Death Processes
As from April 2008, Sheffield Safeguarding Children Board has to have specific procedures in place when a child, who is under the age of 18, dies. The key requirements are that we:
- have a rapid response by a group of key professionals who come together for the purpose of enquiring into and evaluating the unexpected death of a child
- have a overview panel of key professionals who come together to review the deaths of all children resident in Sheffield.
Documentation
The documents below include:
- the procedures for the operation of the Sheffield Rapid Response Team

(Please note these procedures replace the SUDI (Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy) Protocol which operated prior to April 2008).
