LSCP Protocols

This guidance is for all professionals working with children and young people 0-18 to support professionals' practice in the assessment and management of bruising in non-independently mobile infants (usually under 6 months) and children who are not independently mobile.

This protocol provides supplementary local guidance to professionals responding to the death of a child in Sutton or whom normally resides within Sutton. The protocol explains and augments the relevant sections of Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 and Child Death Review: Statutory and Operational Guidance 2018. This protocol should be followed by all professionals responding to a child death in conjunction with all relevant policies, procedures and protocols within their own agencies.
