This refers to a legal agreement which a local authority can make between themselves and the parent of a child which will allow them to accommodate the child somewhere elsewhere outside of their home. The ‘section’ part refers to the law being set out at section 20 of the Children Act 1989. This is the legislation that governs most aspects of social services involvement with children and families. Anyone who has ‘parental responsibility’ for a child (eg. a mother, or a father who is on the birth certificate) can voluntarily allow the local authority to accommodate their child in this way.
