Children Act 1989 places a duty on local authorities to make enquiries where they have reasonable cause to suspect that a child in their area may be at risk of suffering significant harm. Local authorities shall make, or cause to be made, such enquiries as they consider necessary to enable them to decide whether they should take any action to safeguard or promote the child's welfare.
Children Act 1989. Local authorities have duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within their area who are in need and so far as is consistent with that duty, to promote the upbringing of such children by their families by providing a range and level of services appropriate to those children's needs. This statutory guidance sets out how inter-agency organisations and individuals should work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.

Children Act 1989. The Provision of Accommodation
Children Act 1989. 17-year old‟s refusal of an offer of s.20 accommodation must be an “informed” decision, i.e. they must be aware of the potential consequences of acceptance and refusal. Good practice requires that competent young people who refuse to be “looked after” should receive a written acknowledgement of their decision, outlining the advice that has been given. This will be done by the member of Next Steps staff working with the young person which will provide an “audit trail” and will be shared, e.g. with the Housing Options Team. Some young people may lack the competence to make such a decision, and in a few of these cases a “best interests decision” under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 may be appropriate. Mental Capacity Act 2005 Children‟s Services staff who are unfamiliar with this legislation are expected to seek legal advice in these situations. Young people who refuse accommodation, or are not owed a duty under s.20, may be advised to apply to the housing authority, in this case the Housing Options Team, for assistance under Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996. It is in the young person‟s best interests that TfC and the Housing Options Team work together. It should also be noted that the refusal of s.20 accommodation does not make a young person “intentionally homeless” (not even in cases where the young person was accommodated whilst the Pathways Team completed an assessment). The Housing Options Team will consider each young person on their individual circumstances. Plans must be put into place to meet other needs in all circumstances – including when accommodation needs are not met by Together for Children. Most young people who are looked after under s20 are not entitled to claim benefits and as such Together for Children will pay the equivalent income maintenance amount of £57.90 each week. However, there are notable exceptions to this: Lone parents Disabled young people Young people who are unable to work due to incapacity Carers Young people falling into any of these groups should be able to claim benefits (including Housing Benefit) as usual. Young people who are being assisted under s17 only should retain their normal benefit entitlements. Allocations Route (planned transition) Relief/prevention route under HRA. Allocations Route: If the young person has been identified by TfC as ready to move onto supported accommodation, TfC will complete a housing register application with the young person at the earliest opportunity and submit this along wi...
