Our team of specialist nurses support the health and wellbeing of children and young people aged 0-18 who are looked after by Enfield local authority wherever they are placed, during their time in care. 

It is a legal requirement for all children and young people in care to have holistic health assessments to determine their health and wellbeing needs.  

Our nurses arrange and/or provide these assessments, ensuring a plan of action is in place to meet the individual child or young person’s needs.  

They also support partner agencies by providing advice and expertise on health issues and offer training for all practitioners who work with and support children in care, including social workers and foster carers.
