A government intervention team is to work with Birmingham social services after eight children known to the department died within three years.
A recent report by children's services watchdog Ofsted detected "inadequacies" in the council's ability to safeguard vulnerable children.
Last week, an inquiry was launched after seven children died in Doncaster.
Intervention teams have also been sent to Reading, Wokingham, Essex, and West Sussex, the government has confirmed.
The intervention team consists of experts from the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) who liaise with Birmingham social services.
