As a parent/carer of a Looked After Child you may need additional support in order to meet the needs of the child/young person. As with any concern your first port of call should always be their school and in particular the Designated Teacher or the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCo) there.
You may also wish to contact the Virtual School in order to gain advice and guidance, you can do this by emailing thevirtualschool@somerset.gov.uk
If you are the parent or carer of an child adopted from Local Authority Care or on a Special Guardianship Order or Child Arrangement Order, you might find useful information on the ‘Previously Looked After’ (PLAC) page of this website.
