two.1.4) Short description
The Child Death Review Partners are proposing a joint commissioning arrangement for the
South West Peninsula Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) and Joint Agency Response
(JAR) Service. The Child Death Review Partners are Devon County Council, Plymouth City
Council, Torbay Council, Cornwall Council, Isles of Scilly Council, NHS Kernow Clinical
Commissioning Group (CCG) and NHS Devon Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). In
accordance with the Child Death Review Guidance (2018), these Partners have come
together to agree that their areas should be treated as one area for the purpose of reviewing
child deaths.
Both CDOP and JAR are statutory services. Currently, these services are commissioned
separately with both contracts running until 31st March 2022. The incumbent provider
currently delivers both services.
The two services are inextricably linked with the JAR Nurses playing an integral part in the
Child Death Review (CDR) process and the CDOP Designated Doctor providing clinical
supervision to the JAR Nurses. These services were developed to review and reduce Sudden
and Unexplained Death in Infancy and Childhood (SUDI/C) and CDOPs are now responsible
for reviewing all deaths of children (under 18) normally resident in their area and, where
agreed, any non-resident child who has died in their area. A JAR is required for all sudden and
unexpected deaths.
The partners are looking for a provider with the capability and capacity to provide clinical
governance for the recruitment, employment, supervision and retention of nursing staff and
the Designated Doctor for child deaths. The provider must be able to deploy an equitable
service across Devon, Plymouth, Torbay, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
