Children Looked After (Islington) 

 

The Children Looked After health team in Islington are responsible for promoting all aspects of health to children and young adults who are looked after by Islington Children’s Social Care. We have a commitment to providing statutory health assessments to Children and young People Looked After by Islington.

 

The Children Looked After health team delivers specific health targeted interventions, advocacy and immunisations delivered according to a proactive outreach model. The CLA Health Team forms part of an integrated service with CAMHS.

 

The CLA Health Team is co-located with other London Borough of Islington (LBI) services for looked after children.  Please see address above.
