Children in care often face greater health challenges than their peers, stemming from early experiences of trauma, neglect, or instability. In Sefton, recognising the critical importance of timely and effective health and dental care, a multi-agency approach has been adopted to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group. This practice guide outlines the collaborative efforts between Sefton Children’s Services, the Integrated Care Board, and health providers to enhance access to Initial and Review Health Assessments, dental services, and emotional well-being support.
