520 _aThis article provides a discussion of the statutory child care and protection system in New Zealand. It analyses nine cases of child homicide that were known to statutory child protection services from 1996-2000. Issues raised by the case studies are discussed as well as the reviewing of child deaths more generally. The process of engagement and assessment, seeking solutions with the family, and securing safety and belonging for the child are explored. The case studies revealed that few of the deaths were predictable. The authors conclude that the challenge for child welfare systems is to create environments where they can promote practice improvements and learn from child deaths reviews rather than risk averse practice.
