People experiencing multiple disadvantage are at a higher risk of premature death than the general population. Despite this, there remains a limited focus, both locally and nationally, on investigating and reviewing premature deaths when they occur. This briefing encourages local areas to review all premature deaths of people facing multiple disadvantage and calls on national government to require this and to collate learning from reviews to inform policy decisions. It highlights the benefits that reviews can bring and the methods and processes that can be adopted to improve current practices and minimise future loss of life.
In the latest in our policy into practice series, we explore the role of Integrated Care Systems and the opportunity they pose to address the issues faced by people experiencing multiple disadvantage.
In the latest in our policy into practice series, we explore the recently released sentencing white paper A Smarter Approach to Sentencing, and consider its impact on people experiencing multiple disadvantage.

We outline the development of multi-agency partnerships, the enhanced frontline support offered to individuals and the strategic oversight provided to make immediate and lasting systems changes to improve the lives of people experiencing multiple disadvantage.
