In this session and the next session 'Safeguarding/Looked After Children Part 2', we will explore the evidence for the statement that looked after children 'have a higher level of health, mental health and health promotion needs than others of the same age' and look at how the Healthy Child Programme can meet these needs.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Provide a definition and describe the epidemiology of looked after children in England
  • Outline the challenges of providing the Healthy Child Programme to this group of children
  • Outline the principles of optimising health services for looked after children
  • Reflect on service provision for children in your local area and apply principles to plan/improve health services for looked after children

In this and the next session 'Safeguarding/Looked After Children Part 2', we will explore the evidence for these statements and look at how the Healthy Child Programme (HCP) can meet these needs.
