Promoting the health and wellbeing of London’s Looked After Children – Learning from Emerging Practice and Scoping Review Final Report
Friday, March 5th, 2010
Two publications have been launched by the Government office London ~ ‘Promoting the health and wellbeing of London’s Looked After Children – Learning from Emerging Practice and Scoping Review’ documents.
These publications came out of requests (in Spring 2009) for examples of practice from across London that increase positive health outcomes for looked after children, in order to share learning and ideas. The Scoping review provides a snapshot of how London services that promote health and wellbeing of looked after children are currently being developed and delivered.
This is supported by the Emerging Practice guide, which is a collection of examples of practice achieving positive health outcomes for looked after children across London. The case studies have been submitted from London Local Authorities and Primary Care Trusts and focus on practice around:
Annual Health assessments
Immunisations and Vaccinations
Access to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services
Sex and Relationship Education
Emotional Wellbeing

Shirley Ayres Consulting were delighted to have been awarded the contract for the scoping review and to have identified so many innovative examples of emerging practice across London.
