<p>Before placing a child, local authorities are required to draw up a placement plan
detailing how the placement is intended to contribute to meeting the child’s needs.
As set out in Volume 2 of the Children Act 1989 Guidance, an effective placement plan
will provide the carer with essential information about the child, including their
emotional and educational needs, how these may affect the child’s daily routine and
strategies for responding to them. The placement plan helps the carer to support the
child in their new home and can reduce the likelihood of placement breakdown.</p>
