Child Placement Order

A Child Placement Order is a legal authorization issued by a court that allows local authorities or approved carers to place a child into a new permanent home, such as with adoptive parents or long-term guardians. It ensures that the child's best interests are prioritized and provides legal permission to transfer parental responsibilities from the birth parents to the carers or adopting family. Essentially, it formalizes the child's new living arrangement, offering stability and legal protection for everyone involved.
