Children Looked After is one of our newer teams, having transferred from ESTH leadership earlier this year. This team provides essential support to one of the most vulnerable cohorts of residents in our borough – children who are looked after. Their well-being, emotional stability, and development are crucial, even for those who live outside of the borough.

Under the leadership of Caroline Berryman as the CLA Named Nurse, the Children Looked After team has worked tirelessly since their transfer to ensure that we have a robust plan in place to deliver the necessary support, care, and interventions, in collaboration with the borough and SWL CLA teams.

The team deserves to be commended for their unwavering dedication and passion in providing the best possible support and well-being to this very vulnerable group of children.

The winner of the Quality Improvement Project of the Year is the Accessible Friends and Family Test (FFT) for Specialist Children's Nursing Services and Children's Therapies.

This innovative project has resulted in a significant increase in Friends and Families Test responses, allowing us to gather valuable feedback directly from the children and young people we serve. The new accessible in Friends and Families Test system features simplified questions, a variety of response options, and tablet-based accessibility.

By making the in Friends and Families Test more user-friendly and inclusive, we are empowering children and young people to share their experiences and help us improve our services.
