Data Protection
The Arrangements for Placement of Children (General) Regulations 1991(Regulation 5)
requires that notification is made by the placing authority to the local authority's Children's
Social Care Services where the child is living. Each local authority (Children's Social Care
Services) is required (Regulation 10) to maintain a register of Looked After children for whom
it is responsible and all looked after children placed in its area, including those children who
are the responsibility of another local authority. Under the Children's Homes and Looked after
Children (Miscellaneous Amendments) (England) Regulations 2013, the Manager of a
children's home must also notify without delay the area local authority (if different from the
placing authority) of the admission to/discharge from the Home of any child.
Shropshire Council will use the data you provide for the purposes of recording, collating,
analysing and sharing the notification with partners, such as Health and Education (and
Police if safeguarding risks have been identified).
