Children in care health check

Regular health checks are an important part of supporting the health and wellbeing of children and young people in care. These checks provide an opportunity to make sure any physical, emotional or developmental needs are identified and the right support is in place.

The Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB) have created guides to explain what children, young people, parents and carers can expect at both initial and annual health assessments, helping everyone feel informed and prepared.


Safer sleep

Helping your baby sleep safely is one of the most important things you can do during their early months. This page brings together trusted videos, practical guidance and links to reliable sources of information to help parents and carers understand safer sleep recommendations.
