Initially, the Looked after Children (LAC) framework defined seven dimensions on which the progress of children looked after by the local authority should be assessed: health, education, identity, family and social relationships, social presentation, emotional and behavioural development, and self care skills.
More recently, the government's Every Child Matters outcomes framework for all children and young people - focusing on the five outcomes of be healthy, stay safe, enjoy and achieve, make a positive contribution and achieve economic well-being - has become central to all policy for children.
Similarly, the National Service Framework for Children, Young People and Maternity Services sets standards of good practice for services in promoting the health and well-being of all children, and emphasises the need for services to work together to achieve positive outcomes for children and young people.
