Promoting the health and education of CLA

Promoting the health and education of CLA

Local authorities have a duty to promote the health and education of CLA, including their mental wellbeing. This is done in partnership with universal health services and education providers and with the support of the CLA Health Team and the Virtual School Head.

The following policies should be followed in order to promote the education of looked after children.

Social workers should refer to the Education, school trips and holidays section of Tri X for relevant policies.

Camden’s multi-agency guidance for CLA education sets out the roles and responsibilities of agencies in order to promote the education of CLA.

Social workers are responsible for ensuring the child’s education needs are met through the care planning process and that the child’s Personal Education Plan is in place, and should follow the Education care planning procedures.
