Domestic abuse victims are allowed to leave home to seek help at refuges despite rules to stop coronavirus spreading, the home secretary has said.

We know that if you are experiencing domestic abuse this will be a more challenging time than ever for you.

When do Child Care proceedings happen?

When a Local Authority believes that a child is at risk, they have a duty to step in. This could be for several reasons, such as -

• The parents fail to stick to a Child Protection Plan.
• A Police Protection Order - the police remove a child from the parents' care. They can hold the child for up to 72 hours.
• An Emergency Protection Order - This can take place without consulting the parents and usually lasts for eight days while the authorities make further investigations.
• A voluntary agreement - parents and Social Services agree to allow Social Services to place a child with alternative carers. This is known as Section 20 accommodation
