| The Department for Education has published a review of the Edlington case written by Lord Carlile at the request of Michael Gove. Recommendations include: compliance with the Troubled Families Programme should be the subject of an annual report; Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) should work closely with Children’s Services on the assessment and treatment of conduct disorders; a designated family judge should be asked to participate as an advisor in all serious case reviews; two versions of serious case reviews should be produced, a closed version and an open one; and there should be national agreement on threshold guidance, shared with all professionals. |
