| Annotation | In recent years, a variety of methods have been used to review cases where a vulnerable adult has died or been seriously harmed, the method chosen largely depending upon whether a single agency or multi-agency approach is required. Serious Case Reviews (SCRs) are more frequently used in cases requiring a multi-agency approach. However, their effectiveness in terms of being timely, value for money and a means of learning lessons has been questioned. Safeguarding Adult Boards (SAB) in the East Midlands have sought alternative means for reviewing some cases including the Significant Incident Learning Process (SILP). This paper explores the experience of facilitating and evaluating a pilot SILP, and then examines the process of facilitating a "live" event. A range of issues are explored, including who should be involved, and concerns around participation and working alongside criminal/police investigations and/or therapeutic intervention. The findings highlight the need for skilled, independent facilitators and robust "ground rules". The evaluation of the SILP found it to be favourable in comparison with SCRs in terms of cost, being a process that can be completed within three months of an incident occurring, and in terms of timely dissemination of lessons learned.
