In May 2022, we conducted a study focusing on the serious incident notifications related to the non-accidental injury (NAI) of under 2's in Kent. Through case analysis, identifying positive practice in similar cases, and engaging directly with professionals, the aim has been to identify key themes that help us understand when and why harm occurs, and what practice can safeguard young children from harm.
