Independent Review Chairs
Any child who is looked after has periodic reviews of their arrangements, which is a an opportunity for them and their parents and carers to discuss their current arrangements and to formulate plans for their future care.
These meetings are chaired by somebody independent of the social work team involved in order to provide an objective and impartial view of the services being provided.
For further information about Independent Review Chairs, please contact 020 8547 6111
