Looked after children placed in Southampton from other local authorities

This page has information about services and resources which are available to looked after children (LAC) who may be placed in our city by other local authorities, including children placed for adoption.

We have included the process for notifying us of the placement of a child and when they subsequently move or are adopted. There is also information about accessing universal services.

We hope that this information is useful to professional colleagues from outside the city, who are working with looked after children placed in Southampton.
