To provide initial health checks for looked after children for the population of Doncaster.<br/><br/>As at December 2025 there were 497 Doncaster children in care of local authority, a decrease from the previous year of just under 530 children. However, there is evidence to suggest that the needs of children in care are becoming increasingly complex and requiring additional support. During quarterly monitoring, there was evidence of fluctuating figures of children entering and leaving care, hence reflecting further demand on service requirements. <br/><br/>In 2025/26, nearly 190 initial health assessments were undertaken for children in care residing in Doncaster.
