Summary
Statutory guidance was issued on 1 April 2010 to local authorities jointly by the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government. It provides revised guidance for children's services authorities and local housing authorities about their respective duties under Part 3 of the Children Act 1989 and Part 7 of the Housing Act 1996 to secure or provide accommodation for homeless 16 and 17 year old children, following the judgment by the House of Lords in the case of R(G) v London Borough of Southwark (2009).
