About

London Borough of Brent awarded a contract to Aidhour Ltd for the provision of statutory Children Looked After reviews, including Independent Reviewing Officers (IRO) and Annual Foster Carer Reviews.

The service provider assists Brent's Reviewing team by supplying IROs to chair and participate in Children Looked After (CLA) reviews and Foster Carer reviews (FCR).

They are responsible for submitting all appropriate documentation within agreed timeframes and to standard, and for holding the Local Authority to account for its performance in light of legal responsibilities towards Children Looked After.

The contract value is £703,800.
