Looked After Children

Looked After Children are children who are in the care of their local authority because their parents cannot adequately care for them. This may be due to reasons like neglect, abuse, or family circumstances that make it unsafe for them to stay at home. These children might live in foster homes, residential care, or with guardians appointed by the court. The goal is to provide a safe, stable environment that supports their well-being, development, and long-term stability, while also working towards possible reuniting with their family or securing a permanent placement.
