Child Death Reviews
The Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) has revised and refreshed it’s Bereavement Pack to support and inform bereavement families whose child has died. This pack is for use by professionals – particularly colleagues within our Acute Trusts and Police Child Protection Unit.
The pack contains information explaining local child death processes and signposts parents to local and national bereavement support charities.
Please print this pack and provide a copy to bereaved parents. Please also ensure that contact numbers on the back page of the bereavement pack are completed.
The CDOP Notification (Form A) is completed via an online portal – eCDOP
https://www.ecdop.co.uk/Northamptonshire/Live/Public
Information Collation (Form B) will be sent electronically via eCDOP once Form A has been completed (The sending of Form B is undertaken manually by the Northamptonshire Child Death Review team in normal weekday hours)
Professionals are asked to remove any previous versions saved on their systems and the new online portal used. Please be aware that any person submitting a completed a previous version template may well have the template returned and a request for it to be completed electronically.
