We will look at the systems and processes in place for all deaths, with a focus on the
way these may be applied where people have a learning disability or mental health
problems (aligning with Mazars work).

CQC will work closely with NHSI and NHSE to ensure that our findings influence their
development of good practice guidance.

How are the deaths of service users identified, reported and the
level of investigation decided?
2. Investigations
Example of prompts
Each key line of enquiry will be supported by prompts to collect evidence against. The
type of evidence will depend on the activity.
For example, during a site visit we may collect the view of a director during interviews
but we would then look at ways to corroborate this by checking records or case notes.
There will be a number of draft prompts under the four key questions
Key Line of Enquiry
1. Identification and report
How are the deaths of service users identified, reported and the level of investigation decided?
Prompts
1. What are the barriers to effective identification and reporting of deaths that require investigation?
2. How do services make sure decision makers have access to the right information to make the
decision and identify if opportunities for preventing death have been missed?
3. What type of monitoring is in place to make sure deaths are being identified and reported or
thematic requirements are identified?
4. What processes and policies are available to staff making the decision to report and investigate a
death?
5. How are people outside the organisation involved in the initial review e.g. commissioners, other
providers, GPs, families and carers?

Provider Survey
What?
The survey will be sent out to all Acute, Mental Health and Community NHS Trusts.
Trusts will be given 3 weeks to complete and return the survey.
Why?
To provide data which is not currently available to the CQC that will help answer the
project aims.
To provide additional information, data and context for inspectors ahead of site visits.
To further prompt providers to identify current challenges and barriers to effective
investigations.
How?
Feedback is being gathered from several sites across different sectors on the
appropriateness of the questions and the burden of completing the survey.
Other projects outside of the CQC have been considered to avoid duplication.
FAQ sheet will be provided to facilitate the process and any unnecessary excess
workload for the Trusts.

Can you describe what works well and any challenges or barriers for your
approach to involving families and carers?
What do you believe are the biggest challenges and risks to robust and
effective investigations that allow learning opportunities when service users
and patients die?
What single change do you think would have the biggest impact on allowing
learning to be embedded that would lead to improvements to care within
organisations and for the system as a whole?

Transparency about discussions and activities relating to the review. We will do this by
providing regular updates on the website, and sharing this through our engagement
channels in a timely way.
Regular engagement and involvement with key stakeholders, and engaging with
families and carers.

Ongoing conversations, since January 2016, with key stakeholders including NHS
Improvement, NHS England and George Julian from the Justice for LB campaign.
Meetings with other interested parties including INQUEST, Mencap and family
representatives of the Transforming Care Assurance Board.
News story about the review published on our website in April 2016, which had good
media coverage.
News of the review was shared at the same time through various channels including:

Engage with families and carers this will be conducted as part of our evidence
gathering for the review.
Engage with the public online community group each week we will be publishing a
new task for them to feedback on, such as asking for their feedback on how we
propose to gather evidence and how we should promote the findings.
Revise and update our news page on the website this will be a live page which will be
updated on a regular basis, and direct people to the public online community for more
information and how to get more involved.
Engage with providers through the provider online community group and other
channels, including working with NHS Confederation and NHS Providers.
Using media and social media channels tweets talking about issues related to how
trusts inspect unexpected deaths will act as qualitative feedback that we can consider
during the review.

How do you think that we can capitalise on the online community groups?
What channels do you have available that we can use to help talk about the review?
For example, to promote our online community groups.
