Child G CSPR report, published 24 November 2021
Publication Statement on behalf of the MK Together Safeguarding Partners
At the time of the review, there was considered to be a lack of joint working across agencies from a national and local perspective.
Colleagues across the police, health and social care have worked closely together to identify all possible learning from this case.
This has resulted in positive action across agencies and changes to professional practice and procedures where appropriate.
Significant progress has been made by improving multi-agency information sharing and this has been recognised in subsequent audits and inspections.
The Safeguarding Partners will continue to support and challenge agencies to deliver the highest standards of safeguarding support for children and adults.”

Adult D Safeguarding Adult Review report
Published 23 November 2020, on behalf of the MK Together Safeguarding Partners:
In Milton Keynes we have made significant changes to the way agencies work together and share information to support people with complex needs. In parallel, Milton Keynes Council launched an Integrated Autism Service last year which covers assessment, diagnosis and post-diagnostic support for people aged 16 plus.
Helping local people to get the mental health and social care support they need must remain a priority. This tragic death underlines the importance of strong collaboration between the NHS, social care, housing providers, and the police. We will continue to put the learnings from this important case into practice to ensure that adults with autism are fully supported. We will do everything possible to reduce the risk of this happening again.
