Description

The Department of Health guidance document, Promoting the Health of Looked After Children (2002), acknowledges the importance of a multi-agency approach in ensuring that the health needs of this vulnerable group of children are met. The statutory health assessment forms the basis for identifying health problems. Current requirements are for an initial health assessment within four weeks of entering the care system, followed by a bi-annual health assessment for all looked after children (LAC) under age five years and annually for those over five. Our service is based in a health centre in an ethnically diverse area of inner London. Initial health assessments (IHA) are usually undertaken by a consultant paediatrician, staff grade doctor or paediatric specialist registrar. Where a child has been placed outwith travelling distance of our clinic, the GP is asked to undertake the health assessment and return to us. We use the BAAF Form IHA for the assessment and to formulate a summary, health care plan and recommendations for action. This is then sent to the social worker and copies sent to the carer or young person, GP and health visitor or school nurse. It is ultimately the social worker's responsibility (as the corporate parent) to ensure that the recommendations are carried out.
