15. Other investigations

If something has gone wrong with care that may have caused your baby’s death, an urgent investigation called an NHS Serious Incident Investigation (SII) is begun. This is so that the NHS can be open and honest with families about any mistakes and learn from poor care. This learning could prevent future harm or deaths. The NHS should take the views of families into account when deciding whether or not an SII is needed.
