Single Unified Safeguarding Review (SUSR) in Wales - RCPCH consultation response June 2023

Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health

Abstract

In June 2023 we responded to the consultation on SUSR, statutory guidance that aims to create a single review process incorporating all safeguarding reviews in Wales. The SUSR will ensure affected families can expect a swift and rigorous review process. It will eliminate the need for families to take part in several reviews, which will reduce the trauma and time in getting a decision.

Our response
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) welcomes this opportunity to respond to Welsh Government’s consultation on proposed statutory guidance on the Single Unified Safeguarding Review (SUSR) process. We welcome any initiative which strives to improve the safeguarding of vulnerable children, the protection and promotion of children’s rights, child protection per se, and outcomes for vulnerable children.

For those reasons, we are pleased to see this work going ahead.
