Out of area placements of looked after children
If another council places a child in Staffordshire, they must tell us.
This helps us keep children safe and make sure they get the right support.
What to do
If you are from another local authority and placing a child in Staffordshire:
- You must fill in our placement form
- This applies to all types of placements (like foster care, residential care, or supported accommodation)
Why it matters
We need to know:
- Where the child is living
- Who is looking after them
- What support they need
- How to contact the right people
This helps us work with you to keep the child safe and well.
