    Report summary

    Georgia Charlotte SCARFF, aged 16, died immediately on 15 April 2024 after stepping into the path of a lorry on the A14 near Bury St Edmunds; the inquest concluded that she had been experiencing anxiety and acted impulsively in taking her own life. Concerns were raised that staff were not always proficient in using CPOMS, resulting in important safeguarding information not being recorded, and that the absence of a single standard safeguarding information management tool could create risks to life.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Absence of a single standard safeguarding information management tool for schools and colleges

    Wider context from the report

    “However, the Court also heard evidence that there is no single standard safeguarding information management tool for schools and colleges. Teachers moving between schools and colleges must familiarise themselves with different processes and tools depending on that used by an individual school or college. I am concerned that the absence of a single standard safeguarding information management tool for schools and colleges may result in a risk to life due to teachers being unfamiliar with different management tools and as a consequence important information relating to safeguarding not being recorded in children’s safeguarding records. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of staff to record important safeguarding detail in CPOMS

    Wider context from the report

    “However, the Court also heard evidence that not all staff were familiar with or proficient in the use of CPOMS which, although not causative of Georgia’s death, led to important information not being recorded in Georgia’s CPOMS record. I am concerned that in another case the failure to record important safeguarding detail may result in a risk to life. ”
