The Children\u2019s Homes and Looked After Children (Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) Regulations 2013 placed additional duties on local authorities seeking to place children out of the authority\u2019s area.<\/p>

Under the amended regulations, any decision to place a child outside of the local authority\u2019s area must be approved by a nominated officer, or, if that placement is a distant one, by the Director of Children\u2019s Services. The regulations further require that when considering making a distant placement, the responsible authority consults with the host authority, and shares information including the child\u2019s care plan.<\/p>

It should also be noted that local authorities do place looked-after children in boarding schools from time to time, where it is considered in the child\u2019s best interests.
