Looked After Children Part 2: Influencing Factors and Outcomes of Care Journeys
In this second session and the first session 'Safeguarding/Looked After Children Part 1', 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.
