LAMI-56 Response Historic

Prevent discharge of hospitalised children with concerns until home is safe

Recommendation

Directors of social services must ensure that no child known to social services who is an inpatient in a hospital and about whom there are child protection concerns is allowed to be taken home until it has been established by social services that the home environment is safe, the concerns of the medical staff have been fully addressed, and there is a social work plan in place for the ongoing promotion and safeguarding of that child’s welfare.
