Sufficiency and Commissioning Strategy for Looked After Children and Care Leavers

We have a duty, as stated in section 22G of the Children Act 1989, to take steps to secure, as far as reasonably practicable, sufficient accommodation for looked after children within their local council area. The 2010 guidance on the 'sufficiency duty' states that we should have embedded plans, as part of our commissioning processes and through partnership working, to meet the duty.
