Serious Case Reviews (SCRs) were previously held for cases involving children, and occasionally vulnerable adults, but they have now been replaced with new regimes in England and Wales. These apply to cases involving death or serious harm to a child and Safeguarding Adults Reviews are now used for cases where a vulnerable adult has died.
