Learning from Practice
North Lincolnshire Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews
In the event of a Child Safeguarding Practice Review, learning will be published as appropriate.
Reflective wellbeing session guidance
In keeping with the Children’s MARS Board’s commitment to supporting practitioners and promoting a culture of learning, the concept of a reflective wellbeing session has been developed as an opportunity to provide a reflective space for the workforce and partnership to come together following a significant event to reflect on the impact that this has had, share thoughts, feelings and experiences to build resilience.
Scrutiny and Assurance Framework
The Children’s MARS Scrutiny and Assurance Framework sets out our arrangements for scrutiny and assurance, including independent scrutiny.
Learning from scrutiny and assurance framework to be added in due course.

7 Minute Briefings
To strengthen multi-agency safeguarding practice, we encourage all partner organisations to routinely use the Children’s MARS 7 Minute Briefings during team meetings, supervision sessions, and case discussions.
These guides provide practical, evidence-based support to help professionals make informed decisions and maintain consistent standards across agencies. Regular use will:
- Promote shared understanding of safeguarding principles and procedures.
- Ensure alignment with local and statutory requirements.
Please integrate these briefings into your team’s regular discussions and planning processes to embed best practice and enhance outcomes for children and families.
