Undertaking learning reviews (children and adults) local guidance

This guidance is primarily intended for members of the Public Protection Committee (PPC), Chief Officers’ Group (COG) and any member of staff involved in a Learning Review in Dumfries and Galloway. However, it should also be read and understood by a wide multi-agency audience.

Purpose of the learning review

The overall purpose of a learning review is to bring together agencies, individuals and families in a collective endeavour to learn from what has happened in order to improve and develop systems and practice in the future. This will then lead to better protection of children, young people and adults at risk of harm. 

For children and young people, the process is underpinned by the rights of children and young people as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
