Havering Child Death Overview Panel (CDOP) are responsible for reviewing every child death within Havering (age 0-18 years old) to identify learning and make recommendations to agencies to prevent future related deaths.

The primary functions of CDOP are:
- collect and analyse information related to the death of each child
- address the needs and welfare of any other children living in the household and the parents
