Children collected late or not collected from educational settings guidance

Under Section 175 of the Education Act 2002, local authorities and educational settings have a statutory duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. This duty extends to having arrangements in place for handling situations where children are not collected at the end of the educational setting day, or at the end of an educational setting activity which is authorised by the educational setting.
