A Rapid Review (RR) takes place immediately after a serious child safeguarding incident. The rapid review process includes gathering relevant information, a multi-agency meeting and writing the findings in a report which is submitted to the national Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel. This process must be undertaken within 15 working days.
Rapid Review reports are not published. However, to ensure that learning is embedded in practice, the KBSP has developed learning briefings to support professionals in individual learning, team meetings, and supervision. These briefings help ensure that key findings are disseminated widely across workforces and partnerships.Group Based Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) (April 2026)
