<p>Since April 2008 all Local Safeguarding Children Boards have had a statutory duty
to review the death of all children from birth to age 18. Statistics on these Child
Death Reviews are collated and published by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and
are available on the CQC's website:</p><p> </p><p>www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-child-death-reviews.</p><p>
</p><p>Statistics on the location of child deaths are available from 2010 onward and
show that in this time, no child has died in an inpatient mental health unit.</p><p>
</p><p>According to data from the Mental Health Act Commission, six females and one
male under 18 died between 2003 and 2008. Owing to patient confidentiality these figures
cannot broken down to each institution.</p><p> </p>
