CDC has been doing significant work with clinicians to understand how the Designated Medical Officer (DMO) or Designated Clinical Officer (DCO) can support the vision of the Children & Families Act 2014.
This programme of work involves bringing DMOs and DCOs together - both via an online community of practice and through meetings and conferences - producing handbooks and resources to support them in their role, and sharing best practice case studies and learning.
