Section 82 Review of child's case before making alternative arrangements for accommodationI1C1

England and Wales

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

Where a local authority is providing accommodation for a child (“C”) other than in accordance with arrangements falling within section 81(6)(d), it must not make such arrangements for C unless it has decided to do so in consequence of a review of C's case carried out in accordance with regulations made under section 102 (review of cases and inquiries into representations).

(2)

But subsection (1) does not prevent a local authority making arrangements for C under section 81(6)(d) if it is satisfied that in order to safeguard C's well-being it is necessary—

(a)

to make such arrangements, and

(b)

to do so as a matter of urgency.
