Wales: Single Unified Safeguarding Review (SUSR) draft statutory guidance
The Welsh Government are seeking views on introducing a new Single Unified Safeguarding Review (SUSR) which would integrate Domestic Homicide Reviews, Child Practice Reviews, Adult Practice Reviews, Mental Health Homicide Reviews and Offensive Weapons Homicide Reviews.
This would create a single review process, eliminating the need for multiple agency reviews to be undertaken when someone has tragically lost their life or been significantly harmed.
By moving to a new process, it will prevent families having to take part in a traumatising cycle of information-giving and waiting and allow lessons to be identified, shared and implemented quickly on an all Wales basis to prevent future harm.
Comments are being sought on the proposed statutory guidance. You can find the consultation here:

The consultation is open until 9th June.
