What we do

Within schools, we:

• train, support and advise "designated" teachers to support the educational achievement of Looked After Children
• run projects to both raise and track the achievement of Looked After Children
• participate in reviewing our schools performance on issues relating to Looked After Children, e.g. attendance.

To make sure help is consistent and integrated, we work with:

• Health and Social Services
• other Local Authorities.

We provide guidance and training on:

• matters regarding the education of Looked After Children (e.g.overcoming barriers to academic achievement and success)
• Personal Education Plans
• the "Working Together" initiative for Social Services staff and Designated Teachers.

If you would like any further information, please contact us or your school.
