142 SCOPE OF THIS CHAPTER
142 </p>
143 This chapter addresses the action to be taken on receipt of a notification from another local
authority that a Child in Care has been placed at an address in Warrington.

150 1. Introduction
150 </h2>
151 <p>
151 Where a Child in Care is placed by a local authority in the area of another local authority,
notification must be made by the placing authority to the local authority's Children's
Social Care Services where the child's placement is located.
151 </p>
152 <p>
152 The Education Service and the relevant Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) for the area in
which the Child in Care is placed must also be notified.
152 </p>
153 <p>
153 The notification will include the address where the child is placed.
153 </p>
154 <p>
154 The Local Authority where the child is placed must maintain a register of Children in Care
for whom it is responsible and all Children in Care placed in its area, including those
children who are the responsibility of another local authority.
154 </p>
155 <p>
155 Under the Children's Homes and Children in Care (Miscellaneous Amendments) (England)
Regulations 2013, the Manager of a children's home must notify without delay the area local
authority (if different from the placing authority) of the admission to/discharge from the
Home of any child.
155 </p>
156 <p>
156 The notification must state:
156 </p>
157 <ul>
158 <li>
158 The child's name and date of birth;
158 </li>
159 <li>
159 Whether the child is accommodated under section 20 or subject to a care order or
supervision order;
159 </li>
160 <li>
160 The contact details for:
161 <ul>
162 <li>
162 The child's placing authority; and

163 <li>
163 The child's Independent Reviewing Officer;

165 </li>
166 <li>
166 Whether the child has an Education, Health and Care Plan, if so, details of the local
authority which maintains the Plan.

188 </h2>
189 <h3>
189 2.1 Responsibilities of the Children's Social Care teams
189 </h3>
190 <p>
190 Any notification received from another local authority that a Child in Care has been placed
in the authority should be passed to the Safeguarding Unit.
190 </p>
191 <p>
191 Email:
191 <a href="mailto:safeguarding&qaservice@warrington.gov.uk" target="_blank"
rel="noopener">
191 safeguarding&qaservice@warrington.gov.uk
191 </a>
191 </p>
192 <p>
192 The Safeguarding Unit will ensure, through communication with the placing local authority
where necessary, that the information required in
192 <a href="#register">
192 Section 1.1, The Register
192 </a>
192 , is provided and recorded.
192 </p>
193 <p>
193 The Safeguarding Unit will also arrange for a check to be carried out of the address on the
data management system (e.g. ICS) to establish whether there is any information recorded in
relation to the address. If so, this information must be communicated to the allocated
social worker in the local authority with responsibility for the child.
193 </p>
194 <p>
194 Where the placing local authority requests that the authority carry out certain functions in
relation to the child on its behalf e.g. supervision of the placement, the allocated social
worker of the placing authority must make a referral to the MASH in addition to the
notification form to the Safeguarding Unit.

198 : 01925 444400
198 </p>
199 <p>
199 The MASH Manager will consider the request and may arrange a meeting to discuss the request.
199 </p>
200 <p>
200 In these circumstances, the authority may agree to undertake the following:
200 </p>
201 <ul>
202 <li>
202 Supervise the placement in order to be satisfied that the welfare of the child continues
to be suitably provided for; and/or
202 </li>
203 <li>
203 Visit the placement on a regular basis.
203 </li>
204 </ul>
205 <p>
205 It would never be appropriate for the authority to agree to a request to supervise a child
placed in secure accommodation and/or subject to Section 53 of the Children and Young
Persons Act 1933.
205 </p>
206 <p>
206 Where it is agreed at a planning meeting that the authority will undertake supervision of a
placement on behalf of a placing authority, a social worker will be allocated. The placing
local authority should be requested to provide sufficient information about the child and
the placement to enable the social worker to supervise the placement competently, including
the following:
206 </p>
207 <ul>
208 <li>
208 Care plan;
208 </li>
209 <li>
209 Placement information record;
209 </li>
210 <li>
210 The most recent Review of Arrangements Form.
210 </li>
211 </ul>
212 <p>
212 The agreement to supervise the placement should be detailed in writing and signed by
Designated Manager (Notifications) and a relevant Senior Manager in from the Placing
Authority. It should include an expectation that the allocated social worker in the
authority will be invited to contribute to the child's Case Review.
212 </p>
213 <p>
213 Where a significant incident arises in the placement whilst the child is placed, the
authority where the child is placed will be expected to respond to the presenting needs.
However, except in an absolute emergency (e.g. where it is not possible to contact the
child's social worker or their Team Manager, or if out of hours the placing local
authority's Emergency Duty Team), the authority should not take any significant action or
remove the child, without consultation with placing local authority.
213 </p>
214 <p>
214 The authority should never take action on the basis of the placing authority's verbal
authority, but must be certain that required actions are as a result of a written request.
214 </p>
215 <p>
215 At all times case management responsibility remains with the placing authority.
215 </p>
216 <p>
216 In the event that the authority where the child is placed has to have an involvement in an
emergency situation where the child is at risk of significant harm and the placing authority
cannot be contacted, any action should be on the basis of the requirements of the

217 2.2 Maintaining the Register
217 </h3>
218 <p>
218 The Designated Manager (Notifications) is responsible for maintaining the register of
Children in Care (see
218 <a href="#intro">
218 Section 1, Introduction
218 </a>
218 ).
218 </p>
219 <p>
219 This register must include:
219 </p>
220 <ul>
221 <li>
221 Children looked after by the authority;
221 </li>
222 <li>
222 Children looked after by another local authority but placed within the authority, where
there has been agreement that the authority will carry out some of the responsibilities of
the placing local authority;
222 </li>
223 <li>
223 Children looked after by another local authority but placed within the authority, where
the placing local authority continues to carry out all the functions in relation to the
child.
223 </li>
224 </ul>
225 <p>
225 The Designated Manager (Notifications) will ensure that the following teams /agencies are
notified:
225 </p>
226 <ul>
227 <li>
227 The Health Service;
227 </li>
228 <li>
228 The Education Welfare Service;
228 </li>
229 <li>
229 The Children in Care Education Team.
229 </li>
230 </ul>
231 <p>
231 In circumstances where the placement is not registered with OFSTED the Safeguarding Unit
will inform the Director for Children's Services who will ensure OFSTED are notified.
