Children are in need of support not due to any fault on their part
but due to their circumstances. Local authorities have a duty to
safeguard and promote the welfare of children and provide services
to those 'in need'. Children in Need is a comprehensive and
accessible handbook that sets out the statutory obligations of
local authorities to support vulnerable children and families,
including children in, and leaving, custody, disabled children,
migrant children and families, trafficked children and children
leaving care. Taking a rights-based approach, it analyses domestic
and international law and sets out the entitlements to services and
support that are all too often denied. Uniquely focused on the
often-neglected Part 3 of the Children Act 1989, Children in Need
combines authoritative guidance on the law with practical advice
from a team who routinely act for children and their families in
the court. Children in Need is up to date to include: * detailed
coverage of the new guidance, Working together to safeguard
children (2013) and its impact * analysis of recent key cases,
including R(KO) v Lambeth LBC and R(VC) v Newcastle City Council *
Case-law developments in respect of duties to migrant children and
their families, following the judgment in Clue * details of the new
National Standards for Youth Justice Services (2013) Children in
Need is essential reading for claimant lawyers, advocates,
voluntary and statutory sector advisers, local authority lawyers
and frontline staff, social workers and academics. It is intended
to assist all those who work with and for children 'in need' and
their families to understand and apply the law to the benefit of
vulnerable children.
