Ofsted have released a blog about the importance of oral health in children’s social care. Kennet Care fully agrees with the importance of good oral health for children regardless of where they live and our teams work hard on ensuring that this area is developed and maintained for all children.
All children are dependent on adults for access to a dentist, diet choices and oral hygiene support. For children living away from home, this responsibility sits with the staff who are caringfor them. That includes children living in children’s homes, foster care and residential special schools, as well as young people living in supported accommodation.
