<p>From 1 April 2008, all Local Safeguarding Children Boards (LSCBs) have had a statutory
responsibility to review the deaths of all children from birth (excluding still born
babies) up to 18 years, who are normally resident within their area. This is known
as the Child Death Review Process. Their responsibilities include setting up a Child
Death Overview Panel which reviews child deaths on behalf of the LSCB. This would
include deaths in psychiatric in-patient settings. The following link presents data
collected from LSCBs in England to the year ending 31 March 2013.</p><p> </p><p>www.gov.uk/government/publications/child-death-reviews-year-ending-31-march-2013</p><p>
</p><p>The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is currently developing a system of Intelligent
Monitoring for Mental Health services; it is considering which indicators, including
those that relate to Serious Untoward Incidents to include in it. This will include
children and young people.</p><p> </p><p>The CQC is the official source of information
