Placements

A looked after child's placement must offer them the best care available to meet all their needs and provide security and stability for as long as they are looked after. 

Although it is Camden's policy to place children within the borough, this may not always be possible or in the child's best interests.

Where a child will be placed out of Camden, there are specific procedures that should be followed in order to ensure they receive universal and other services and that their safety and welfare can continue to safeguarded. Please see the Out of area placements policy and the Out of borough placements practice guidance for details.
