136 SCRs are currently in progress. 30 SCRs have been notified as not for publication due to compelling reasons related to the welfare of the children directly related to these cases.

22 SCRs have been completed and have not yet been published due to outstanding police investigations, criminal proceedings and welfare issues.

We have set up a national panel of independent experts who will advise and challenge LSCBs on any case where an LSCB has concerns about the publication of an SCR report and/or intends not to publish an SCR report.
