Simple terms explainer:
If a child or young person is provided with residential accommodation so they can attend school, the council (education authority) must make sure the child’s welfare is protected and promoted. This means ensuring the accommodation is safe, suitable, and supports the child’s well-being while they are living there for educational purposes.
