Guidance designed to ensure that looked after children get the education they need and deserve. The purpose of the guidance is to assist local authorities in their role as corporate parents to safeguard and promote the education of children and young people in their care, with the aim of bringing the educational attainment of these children closer in line with that of their peers, enabling them to achieve their full potential. The guidance has sections on: current policy on children and young people in public care; who is in public care and why; working towards better corporate parenting; effective cooperation between agencies; records; early years; career planning for young people and post sixteen educational opportunities; young people in care with special educational needs; admissions, exclusions and transitions; out of authority placements; joint funding; supporting carers; training; advocacy; and young people placed in secure accommodation.
