The Children Act 1989. Sections 17 and 47 of the Children Act 1989 place a duty on local authorities to provide services for children in need and make enquiries about any child in their area who they have reason to believe may be at risk of serious harm. Section 27 says that the local authority may request the help of any authority or person in: Any local authority Any local education authority Any health authority Any person authorised by the Secretary of State for assistance in the exercise of their statutory functions which includes the provision of services for children in need and the sharing of information for these purposes. The Act also enables the local authority to request help from other local authorities, education and housing authorities and NHS bodies and places an obligation on these authorities to cooperate if to do so would not compromise the carrying out of their functions and the request is lawful. You may be approached by social services and asked: To provide information about a child, young person or their family where there are concerns about a child’s wellbeing, or to be involved in an assessment under s17 or a child protection enquiry. To undertake specific types of assessments as part of a Core Assessment or to provide a service for a child in need. To provide a report and attend a child protection case conference. The Act does not require an unwarranted breach of confidence, but an authority should not refuse a request without considering the lawfulness of the request, the relative risks of sharing information, if necessary without consent, against the potential risk to a child if information is not shared.
