If you are in care, our Children Looked After team is here to help you stay healthy and well.
We support children and young people from birth up to the age of 18. This includes young people who have come to the UK without a parent or carer.
Once or twice a year, depending on your age, you will be offered a health check. This is a chance to talk about how you are feeling and anything you might need help with. If you need extra support, we can help you get it.
Together, we will make a health plan just for you. It explains what you need to stay healthy and how the people looking after you can help.
Your health plan may be shared with people involved in your care, such as your doctor (GP), social worker and foster carer. We will check and update your plan at each health appointment.
Before your health check, we will ask you or your carer for permission. We will also ask for permission before sharing information with the people who need to know.
