LAC for Coventry Professionals

The Coventry Looked After Children (LAC) service is a service developed in response to Coventry CAMHS transformation Programme. It is developed to support vulnerable young people with mental health and emotional wellbeing needs. This service is consistent with the NHS Plan for improved Mental Health set out in Future in Mind and Coventry’s Children’s Plan priority that Looked After Children (LAC) are healthy.

The service integrates staff from MIND and Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust. The LAC team work with Coventry City Council Looked after Children’s social care team. This is to create an operational Team Around the Child (TAC). Our aim is to reduce unnecessary assessments of LAC children and to support them, their carers and families in a collaborative non-stigmatising manner.

To provide this we support professionals to seek consultation in the first instance. We then develop a plan for intervention where the child’s /young person’s needs are understood within the context of the people who are important to them in their lives.
