The Scottish Government has published Learning Review Guidance for Adult Protection Committees to use when considering or undertaking learning reviews meeting the criteria for a learning review.
All practitioners are responsible for notifying their line manager of significant cases and events. This allows managers to consider whether a Learning Review Notification should be made to Adult Protection Committee.
Often learning review activity in other areas can be relevant to local practice and it is good practice for us to be aware of national cases as well as Forth Valley cases. Below are links to published learning reviews locally, nationally and some Mental Welfare Commission reports relevant to adult support and protection practice.
