As a parent, remember that in carrying out functions under the Children and Families Act 2014, Local Authorities must have regard for:
- The views, wishes and feelings of the child, young person or parent
- The importance of the child, young person or parent's full participation in decisions
- The importance of the child, young person or parent being provided with the necessary information and support to participate
- The need to support the child or young person to achieve the best educational or other outcomes.
