Independent Reviewing Service

The Independent Reviewing Officer (IRO) will ensure that the Local Authority fulfils their responsibilities and ensure the child or young person is offered stable care appropriate to their individual needs.

What is the Independent Reviewing Service?

We provide a service to children and young people who are looked after by the local authority.

The IRO will ensure that children in care have regular reviews to fully consider their care plan and that where they live is suitable and promotes their needs.

We support children and young people in care from birth to 18 years of age.
