Children Looked After - Merthyr Tydfil - Family support services

What we do

Children Looked After is a term used to describe children and young people who are looked after by their Local Authority - children who are often described as 'in care'.
There are lots of reasons why children and young people become Looked After. Every case is different, sometimes parents are unable to care for their children or there may be a need for specialist services which cannot be provided within the home.
If a child cannot remain at home living with their parents they could be cared for by a relative/friend or foster carers or may need specialised services within a residential setting.
