My Health and Wellbeing

Your physical and mental health are important. While you're in care, we'll make sure that:

A doctor or looked after children's nurse will give you a health assessment when you come into care, and at least once a year after that.

At your assessment, the doctor or nurse will:

  • talk to you about your general health and wellbeing.
  • ask if you're worried about anything.
  • check your height, weight, eyes and hearing.

After your assessment, the doctor or nurse will send a report about your assessment and a copy of your health plan to:

  • your own doctor.
  • your social worker.
  • Children Looked After Nurses.
