The Lead Member is asked to agree the
introduction of a charging policy to require some parents who
request that their children should become Looked After by ESCC to
be financially assessed to determine whether they should contribute
towards the costs of care. Certain exemptions to this process would
apply meaning that there are circumstances in which such financial
assessment would be waived.
