Know how care is provided for looked after
children and young people
The welfare of the child is
paramount.
Children and young people should
be safe and protected if they are in
danger
Children should be cared for by
their families wherever possible if
safe to do so.
Parents of children in need should
be helped to care for their needs
Courts should only make a care
order if it is better for the child than
not making an order.
Children should be informed and
involved in decisions affecting
them
Parents retain parental
responsibility which is either
shared with the local authority
(looked after children) or retained
entirely by the parents (children in
need)
