Secure Accommodation Panel

The Secure Accommodation Panel is responsible for reviewing and approving applications for secure accommodation for children. This panel makes decisions on whether to grant or refuse requests for secure accommodation, which is a form of residential care for children who pose a significant risk of harm to themselves or others. The panel's decisions directly affect children in need of this specialized care and the local authority's ability to provide it. Meetings are held in private, and agendas are not publicly available.
