PFD Monitor interpretation Failure to feed back telephone helpline information about autistic children to the weekly audit meeting and clinical priority decision-makers
Wider context from the report “Whereas the Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust has implemented a number of measures following the publication of a Serious Incident Investigation Report in light of admitted failings, evidence was heard that information provided by parents of autistic children via a telephone helpline operated by the Trust, is not fed back to the weekly audit meeting convened by the Trust . As a result, information about children with neurodiversity issues that might have altered for the worse, may not be available to those who can alter their clinical priorities .

How this respondent action was interpreted
PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.
PFD Monitor interpretation Require increased-risk contacts handled by duty workers to be discussed within three working days at the next waiting-list or multidisciplinary team meeting.
Verbatim wording from the response “An additional safeguard is that where contact about a young person has been received and dealt with as above by the duty worker, then where there is an increase in risk (e.g. expressions of suicidality of any degree, or a change in known risk profile, no matter what the outcome of that contact, the contact is referenced within a clinical discussion within three working days at the weekly waiting list or weekly MDT meeting (whichever is next due to take place). This gives an opportunity for any further input into the information and decision-making to be provided by the broader professional group. This would include cases where the outcome of the contact is that there will be no change to clinical prioritisation, and this gives an opportunity for this decision to be “double checked” by the wider group and safeguarding responses provided if required.”

How this respondent action was interpreted
PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.
PFD Monitor interpretation Introduce a duty-team risk review form capturing waiting-list calls, information received, actions, and clinical rationale for meeting-based review.
Verbatim wording from the response “Additionally, the Trust is implementing a new electronic record keeping system and as part of that, is introducing a risk review form for use by the duty team which will capture calls made to the service. The form will outline the nature of the call and the information provided, and the agreed actions with the supporting clinical rationale. This form will be used as the basis for review of such contacts in the weekly waiting list or weekly MDT meetings. (The use of these forms is just being introduced now with the new electronic system and in the future record keeping audits will include checks to see they are being utilised.)”

How this respondent position was interpreted
PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.
PFD Monitor interpretation The Trust disputes that the reported case involved its services or provides evidence of a systemic issue affecting CAMHS waiting-list contacts.
Verbatim wording from the response “The Trust made further enquiries via those representing Eden’s family and sought detail of the case that had been referred to during the Inquest, which we understand was the basis for the PFD report. Helpful information was forthcoming including the name of the child, which enabled the Trust to review that matter. It transpires that child was not and is not on the Trust’s Core CAMHS waiting list and the circumstances pertaining to that child do not in any way relate to the substantive issue raised within the PFD report.”
