Healthy Futures: Supporting and promoting the health needs of looked after children

Sometimes the way that health, education and social care services are provided can make it difficult for looked after children to get the help they require to address their health needs. A call to action is made for practitioners to be able to assess and respond to increased mental health needs for vulnerable children and families as well as recognize that this group often does not receive proper treatment for other health needs. This report provides case studies demonstrating the impact of integrated mental health and other health services by providers and carers.
