A Children and Young People in Care review is a meeting with all those that are concerned with your care and care plan.
At this meeting Children’s Services will look at how things are going, whether your care plan meets your needs and whether there need to be any changes for the future. The meeting will be chaired by an Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) who is an experienced social worker and independent of children’s services.
Children in care, often have worse health than their peers, because of this regular health assessments and care plans are offered.
