Abstract
This report presents key findings from an analysis of ‘best practice’ as documented in safeguarding reviews across Wales since 2008. Safeguarding reviews are conducted following the most serious incidents, and therefore typically examine tragic circumstances that have led to significant harm or death, though they do sometimes find examples of ‘best practice’ . Occasionally referred to as ‘good’ or ‘effective’ , the meaning of ‘best practice’ is not always explicitly defined within reviews. However, for the purposes of this report, we take this term to mean: positive working practices and approaches that adhere to safeguarding policy in Wales. Applied to safeguarding practice, this includes aspects such as provision of care, risk assessment, communication, information sharing, record keeping and referrals.
