Improving Outcomes for Looked After Children: Pan Sussex event.
Messages from practice and research highlights that children and adults who are care experienced have higher rates of physical, emotional, social, and educational need, and are more likely to experience homelessness, teenage pregnancy, prison and problems with their mental and emotional health.
They are also more likely to die younger. The majority of children who enter care have suffered significant harm, neglect and trauma, and some are children who have travelled alone from their country of origin to seek asylum in UK.
Attendees will have an opportunity to develop knowledge and skills that enhance their contribution to improving health outcomes (both emotional and physical) for those children that they are responsible for or in their care.
It will highlight the essential partnership working required across health, education, social care, police and other partners to achieve optimum health.
This multi-agency training opportunity is aimed at all practitioners and carers working or caring for looked after children or care leavers. This includes foster carers, residential workers, GPs, Health Visitors, School Nurses, Independent Reviewing Officers and Supervising Social Workers.
