 Not seen, not heard
Our review looks at how effectively health services provide early help to children in need, how they identify and protect children at risk of harm and looked-after children’s health and wellbeing.

On our website, you can find the findings and recommendations as well as our video about Brook – a fictionalised character, whose story is based on what children and young people have told us about their experiences of care.
