Consultation forms

Share your views if you are a child or young person being cared for, or if you are a parent or carer of child being cared for.

A review is an opportunity to make plans and decisions for a child while we care of them.

As a child or young person, you can use the forms to safely share if you're worried or need help.

As a parent or carer, use the consultation forms to share views on a child's placement and plans.

Chairing your own review

We review your care plan and decisions about your care regularly. Usually, an Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) chairs these reviews. 

You can also chair your own review. This means that you:

  • can invite who you want to be there
  • can be the leader of the meeting and ask questions to the people you invite
  • can have the review where you want it to be
  • can answer questions about yourself
Chair your own review
