"In Surrey the Independent Reviewing Officer and Child Protection Chair roles are combined, and I think that can have a lot of benefits. If I'm working with a child in a family who are subject to a Child Protection Plan, and that child then becomes 'Looked After', I can stay with that child; that child stays with me. That continuity of care can be helpful, and if the child has built a trust in me, and there is a sense of safety, then I can travel with that child through their journey."
