About being in care

LAC reviews

Looked after children's (LAC) reviews are regular meetings that look at how you are being looked after and make sure everything is okay.

You will be invited and encouraged to attend, along with your IRO, social worker, foster carer or residential worker and education and/or health professionals, where appropriate.

Our Children in care councils have helped to create a form for you to complete before your review - this will help us to know what you think about the care you receive. Your carer, social worker or IRO can help you fill this in.

Our children in care councils have also helped to design the Choices Pick n' Mix, which will give you ideas about how you can get involved in your LAC review. If you have other ideas of how you would like to be involved in your review, let your carer or social worker know.
