Child Death Overview Panels (CDOP’S) are a multi-disciplinary sub-group of Local Safeguarding Children Boards that work across Local Authority boundaries based on population numbers. The CDOP reviews the deaths of all children aged from birth to under the age of 18years old (excluding still births and planned terminations carried out under the law) who normally reside within the geographical boundaries of that CDOP. There are 4 CDOP’s across Greater Manchester 3 of which are ‘tri-partite’ such as Bolton, Salford and Wigan (BSW) with one CDOP covering the area of Manchester City Council. This report provides information on the child deaths which have occurred in 2013/14 known as ‘notifications’ and cases concluded by the CDOP referred to as ‘closed’. The first two sections of this report outline the functions of the Panel and summarises its key findings. In turn these key findings support the recommendations which are made to each of the three Local Safeguarding Boards (LSCB’s) named above.

  • Educational Inequalities in Greater Manchester
    Educational Inequalities in Greater Manchester Characteristics of School‐Age Pupils in Greater Manchester Socio‐Economic Disadvantage About the indicator: Socio‐economic disadvantage in education is usually measured by eligibility for Free School Meals (FSM). Pupils are eligible for Free School Meals if their families are on low incomes and not in full‐time work. Greater Manchester has a higher proportion of children on FSM than England or the North West. In all authorities in Greater Manchester (as in England), higher proportions of the Early Years cohort (aged under 5) are on FSM than the Key Stage 2 (KS2) cohort (the end of primary school, or the Key Stage 4 (KS4) cohort (aged 15/16 and taking. Levels of socio‐economic disadvantage vary across Greater Manchester. Manchester has the highest levels ‐ with around 1 in 3 pupils eligible for Free School Meals – and Stockport and Trafford have the lowest levels. Percentage of children on Free School Meals by stage of education, 2013/14 Ethnic Diversity About the indicator: Children whose ethnicity is known are classified into 5 broad Ethnic groups. These are ‘White’, ‘Mixed‐ethnicity’, ‘Black’, ‘Asian’ and ‘Chinese’. A small percentage of children at each stage do not have a classification for their ethnicity. Where there are very small numbers of children of a particular ethnic group (e.g. at Local Authority level), the exact figures are not reported to preserve pupil confidentiality. Greater Manchester has a higher proportion of minority ethnic pupils than England or the North West. In all authorities in Greater Manchester, the Early Years cohort has the highest proportion of minority ethnic pupils, indicating how the conurbation is becoming more diverse over time There is a great deal of diversity in both the size and composition of the minority ethnic cohort between authorities in Greater Manchester.
