The Keeping of a Child in Secure Accommodation
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report of the Corporate Director of Children’s Services which set out the background to the current situation. The Panel also considered a report from the Independent Investigator which gave an overview of the child’s situation and a report from the Secure Unit.
The Panel carefully reviewed the case, taking into account the verbal updates from officers of Children’s Services, the Independent Investigator, Secure Unit, and the wishes of the child who was present at the meeting.
The Panel noted the planned transition arrangements for a potential placement to commence as from 9 August 2010. In response to a question, the officer undertook to ensure the completion of the report reviewing the Statement of Special Educational Needs.
RESOLVED: That the criteria for a placement in secure accommodation no longer continued to apply and the placement was no longer necessary.
