This toolkit is designed to support system-wide implementation, helping organisations to embed agreed approaches to governance, assessment, planning, review and oversight of S117 aftercare, in a way that promotes quality, consistency and partnership working across Integrated Care Systems (ICSs).

Bringing together key legal frameworks, common areas of challenge, and relevant judgments to support informed, robust and lawful decision-making in relation to Section 117 aftercare.
