Improving the health and well-being of children in public care is a complex and challenging task. Originally published in 1999, this manual was designed to support the health training of residential and field social workers and foster carers, and assist local authorities and others in meeting the Quality Protects objectives for health.
The manual is divided into five modules:
understanding and promoting health
managing health within the care setting
child development, illnesses and health problems
understanding mental health
promoting healthy lifestyles.
Improving the Health of Children and Young People in Public Care is still an valuable resource for trainers working in and with social services departments, as well as mangers of children's homes, heads of care in residential boarding schools, foster carers and providers of NVQ Caring for Children and Young People, level 3.
