In a written ministerial statement of 22 October 2008, the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families Ed Balls and Baroness Morgan announced the terms of reference for the planned stocktake of Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) which was a commitment in the LSCB Priority Review in June 2007. The stock take will be conducted in close collaboration with local authorities and other partners and will report in spring 2009.

Alongside this stocktake, Ministers also announced that DCSF will carry out a study to examine the processes of commissioning, conducting and implementing Serious Case Reviews. The overarching objective of this study is to establish what more can be done to improve the quality, consistency and impact of Serious Case Reviews. This study will report in summer 2009
