3 Summary This is the first Annual for Achieving for Children, NHS Kingston and Your Healthcare CIC working together focusing on Children Looked After (CLA). The Children Looked After Health team was fully staffed until January 2015 and managed to achieve excellent health outcomes. Due to staff changes the Team had to resort to urgent short term strategies until May 2015 where the team had to depend on GPs, Out of Borough CLA Health Teams and school nurses to carry out Review Health Assessments. The Health Team is well staffed currently with 2 new members and are working well together with the Social Care team to deliver excellent care in a timely manner to all Children Looked After in the borough and also for children and Young People placed out of borough. The CLA team is working closely with the Leaving Care Team, focusing on the care leavers journey to achieving independence. NHS Kingston has a major role in ensuring the timely and effective delivery of health services to Looked After Children and Young People. Under the Children Act 2004 PCT s and CCGs have a duty to comply with requests from Local Authorities to help them to provide support and services to children in need. In the Royal Borough of Kingston there were 116 CLA (April 2015), currently there are 52 CLA (April 2015) placed within the Kingston boundaries (which equates to 43% of the CLA population) and 64 placed outside of the Kingston boundaries (which equates to 57%). NHS Kingston is responsible for meeting the health needs of all Kingston CLA irrespective of where they are placed. The CLA Health Team was formally established in 2010 and at that time it consisted of a Lead Nurse (1wte) and the Medical Advisor for Adoption and Fostering (0.3wte) along with the PA for the Medical Advisor (0.6wte). The service has since evolved and since May 2015 there are both a Designated Doctor and a Nurse who operate strategically and oversee the implementation of policies and guidelines within Kingston. Designated Doctor contributes to the Adoption and Permanency Planning panel currently. The Named Nurse ( newly appointed in May 2015) and Named Doctor oversees and respond to the clinical needs of children in care. The Designated Doctor will provide support and advice (also carry out clinical assessments of children with more complex needs). The team also have business support /coordinator who works 0.5wte. The team work closely with a range of other health and social care professionals and they are fully integrated within the MAST process (Multi- Agency Support Team). MAST and CLA team meetings are attended by the Named Nurse for CLA. CSE is high on the agenda and have a raised awareness among the team when they review children. Designated Doctor and Designated Nurse attend the Health Economy Board meeting quarterly chaired by Designated Doctor for Safeguarding to raise any issues around Governance including staffing issues, KPIs, training and audits. 3
4 Performance Indicators are collated monthly in partnership with Children s Social Care and this provides data for the Children s Annual Performance Assessment as required by Central Government. This activity based reporting identifies the number of health assessments (initial and reviews), dental checks, and developmental assessments completed for children who have been in care for more than one year. The national targets are 85%: currently these are about 80 % for Kingston due to recent staff changes. The performance indicators are affected due to difficulties gathering information for children placed out of borough, children in remand or prison, missed appointments and repeated non attending by young persons, cancellations and specific difficulties with timely data collection for year old children not in education. The Team works closely with Leaving Care Team and virtual school head to try and engage with YP. There had been a great increase in children being adopted during the period of March 2014 May There was an increase from average of 6 adoptions/year to more than 10 adoptions in the first quarter of This is due to early identification of younger children who will benefit from adoption early by their social care teams and quicker processing through adoption and permanency planning process. The voice of CLA and Young People and their carers are considered a priority which is reflected in clinical notes ( voice of the child or YP is recorded) and continues to be at the forefront of commissioning decisions and service development. 4

6 1. Introduction 1.1 Definition of Children Looked After The term Looked after refers to any child or young person, for whom the local authority has, or shares, parental responsibility or for whom the local authority provides care and accommodation to the child or young person on behalf of their parent. The majority of children and young people need alternative care and accommodation because they are not able to live at home with their parents. The term child can refer to any child or young person between 0-18 years. This definition includes the UASC under children s act 1989 ( 2004) 1.2 Responsibilities of the Local Authority to CLA The local authority has a duty and responsibility to those young people who leave their long term care after the age of 16 years until they reach the age of 21 or up to the age of 25 if they are in higher education. 1.3 Entering care Looked after children often enter care with a worse level of health than their peers due to experiences of poverty, abuse and neglect. They can face greater challenges than their peers and longer term health, social and educational outcomes remain poor compared to the general population. Narrowing the gap in outcomes for CLA compared to other children and young people is a major goal for NHS Kingston. Categories of placement under sections of the Children Act 1989; -Accommodated under a voluntary agreement with their parent/s - Section 20 -Subject to a care order - Section 31 -Interim care order Section 38 -Subject to an emergency care order Sections 44 and 46 -Compulsory accommodation Section 21 -UASC Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children - (Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in the United Kingdom, often abbreviated to UASC, are children who are outside their country of origin to seek asylum in the United Kingdom, are separated from parents and relatives, and are not in the care of someone who is responsible for doing so.) 1.4 Responsibilities of Health to CLA Health services have a duty to comply with requests from the local authority to help them provide support and services to children in need. In order to discharge this duty the NHS is required to commission effective services, deliver services through provider organisations and provide practitioners to deliver individualised care for all. 6
7 1.5 Principles of reducing health inequalities of CLA Looked after Children have similar health risks as their peers however the majority of these children and young people come into care as a result of abuse and neglect. Health, educational and social outcomes for CLA remain poor with a high rate of teenage pregnancies, smoking, substance misuse, mental health problems, school dropout rates, poor education attainment and criminality. In conjunction with local authorities and other partner agencies health providers have a responsibility to try to improve the health and well- being of these children and young people. The intercollegiate role framework (2015) recommends specific education and training of staff who work with CLA to improve outcomes for these children and young people. Health care staff trained to a high standard has an important role to play in helping reducing the health inequalities of CLA. 2- Purpose of the Report Annual CLA Health Report complies with the reporting mechanism to LSCB and CCG and other partner agencies in demonstrating the work of the CLA Health team in assessing the health needs of CLA and improving their health outcomes.
