Promoting the
health and well-being of looked after children: Implementing the
new guidance locally
Theme: Well being
A series of regional
conferences to support delegates in implementing the new statutory
and practice guidance on promoting the health and well-being of
looked after children. These conferences, organised by NCB on
behalf of DCSF and DH, will give delegates an overview of the
guidance, a chance to learn about its implications for their work
and discuss their practical next steps to implementation, and
examples of effective practice. These events are essential for
those with strategic, commissioning and operational responsibility
for looked after children’s health and well-being.
