Children in Wales supported a Looking After Health Project between July 2002 and July 2004. The project included a combination of partnership work with some local agencies, consultation with children and young people themselves, a national conference and newsletters and contributing to national consultations. The project worked with:
The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in Denbighshire, where the specialist worker for children looked after was piloting a model of mental and emotional assessment
A partnership in Torfaen that was set up to address concerns of practitioners that children looked after were vulnerable to sex-related risks, including teenage pregnancy and sexual exploitation.
The report of the project was published in January 2005 and can be downloaded from this website.
