About this webinar

This recording provides an opportunity for professionals to reflect on the learning themes from the national reviews into the deaths of Arthur and Star.

The overlapping learning themes from our local reviews will also be considered. 

Throughout this session there will be an opportunity to reflect on how this learning will impact on your practice.  

This recording will cover the following:

• Summaries of the findings of the national review
• How to apply the learning to local practice and key messages for Swindon
• Consideration of whether this could happen in Swindon
• Identifying how we apply changes to our own practice based on the learning from today, to improve outcomes for children in Swindon

It may be beneficial to discuss this as a team and complete some of the learning activities used in previous sessions.
