Emergency Protection Procedures For Children

In certain circumstances where public authorities are concerned about the immediate welfare of children there are certain actions, they can take without requiring an application to the court.

These include:

  • Section 20 (sometimes called voluntary accommodation) – this allows the local authority to provide accommodation for your child without the need for any care order.
  • Emergency protection order (sometimes called EPO’s) – this gives the local authority parental responsibility of your child.
  • Police protection Orders (PPO’s) – this allows police to remove children from their carers without the need for an order
