star this property answer text <p>The government is clear that the needs of the child are vital when making decisions about the right care placement. Local authorities have a statutory duty to consider the right placement for the child and take into account a number of factors, one of which is placement area.</p><p> </p><p>Sometimes circumstances make it the right decision for a local authority to identify a placement outside of the child’s local area. For example, when a child is at risk from child sexual exploitation, trafficking or gang violence or when they need very specialist care. Out of area placements require approval from the Director of Children’s Services, and Ofsted monitors all placement decisions including out of area placements and challenges local authorities that need to improve. We are setting up a Residential Care Leadership Board, which will bring together representatives from local authorities and providers to explore how to improve commissioning of children’s residential placements. As part of this work, we expect the Board to assess data on the use of out of area placements.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Local Authorities are responsible for ensuring that 16-and 17-year-olds that are either looked after or care leavers, are placed in safe and suitable accommodation. Statutory guidance sets out the factors that local authorities must take into account when determining the suitability of accommodation. The full guidance can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-act-1989-transition-to-adulthood-for-care-leavers" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-act-1989-transition-to-adulthood-for-care-leavers</a></p><br /><p>Since 2013, Ofsted inspections of local authorities’ children’s social care services have included a separate sub-judgement on care leavers, which includes an assessment of whether the local authority is ensuring that care leavers have access to suitable accommodation. In particular, Ofsted inspect whether:</p><br /><ul><li>Accommodation for care leavers is appropriate for each young person to safely develop their independence skills;</li><li>Care leavers are safe and feel safe, particularly where they are living;</li><li>Care leavers are helped to find housing solutions that best meet their needs; and</li><li>Risks of tenancy breakdown are identified and alternative plans are put in place.</li></ul><br /><p>The government recognises that more needs to be done to improve care leavers’ outcomes and is considering how it can build on the achievements of the first ever cross-government care leaver strategy which was introduced in October 2013. This will include consideration of what can be done to drive further improvement in the quality of accommodation that care leavers receive.</p>

In the 2020-21 financial year local authorities spent £11.1 billion on children and young people’s services. Of this, £5.7 billion was spent on children looked after.
