Central Duty Team Responsibilities at First Contact Sample Clauses

Central Duty Team Responsibilities at First Contact. Where a 16 or 17 year old seeks help from Children’s Services, or is referred to Children’s Services by some other person or agency as appearing to be homeless or at risk of homelessness, or they are an unaccompanied asylum seeker without a parent or guardian with responsibility for their care, then Children’s Services must assess whether the young person is a child in need under s17, and determine whether any duty is owed under s20 of the Children Act 1989, to provide the young person with accommodation.

Bed and breakfast accommodation is not considered suitable for 16 and 17 year olds even on an emergency accommodation basis. Where those young people are already open to a service in the Children, Young People and Education service, work with the young person is carried out by the allocated Social worker or the team duty cover if the worker is unavailable.
