Greetings,

In medical circles there is a process for reviewing cases that go 
awry, sometimes with catastrophic results.  That process is sometimes 
referred to as Morbidity and Mortality reviews and is conducted in 
confidence in order to learn what, if anything, might be done 
differently in the future.

Can anyone direct me to guidelines for conducting similar reviews in 
child welfare for cases that involve either tragic (e.g., death, 
injury) or unsatisfactory outcomes (e.g., failure to achieve goals). 
I realize there may be an assortment of mechanisms and processes to 
exercise hindsight and oversight.  I'm interested in published  (or 
printed) guidelines for conducting such reviews internal to a child 
welfare agency or system.

Thanks.
