Amendment 126 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Berridge, seeks to ensure that all children who are deprived of their liberty under the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court become looked after as a result. Local authorities must take positive action when a child is demonstrating that they are at risk, including at risk of requiring a deprivation of liberty. This may include putting in place a child protection plan or applying for a care order where concerns are substantiated.
