Written Question
Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood
Friday 4th September 2026

Asked by: Lord Ravensdale (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of updating the statutory child death review process to include sudden unexplained death in childhood reporting.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

We recognise the devastating impact of sudden unexplained death in childhood on affected families and communities.

The Child Death Review (CDR) process was established in 2008 so that the deaths of all children would be systemically reviewed to identify learning and support bereaved families. A Child Death Overview Panel examines the circumstances of each death, identifies learning, looks for patterns and potential improvements in services, and makes recommendations aimed at preventing future deaths. Families are assigned a key worker to guide them through the CDR process and help them access appropriate support and services.

The Department is working to update the statutory CDR guidance in due course.
