The primary aim of NAIRO is to improve outcomes for looked after children in England, by maximising the positive impact of the reviewing process. The ways that this purpose will be achieved may include:
• Strengthening the understanding and recognition of the role of the IRO;
• Influencing the legal and policy framework for looked after children and the reviewing process at national and local level;
• The development of a code of practice for IROs;
• The development/commissioning/provision of high quality training for IROs.
