Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Proposed subsection (2C) ensures that children are placed only in high-quality accommodation. This would take into account how close the accommodation is to the child’s home and the presence of other children, both of which combat isolation. The average distance from home for children subject to a deprivation of liberty order is currently 56 miles.
