The Children, Schools and Families Act 2010 has the main purpose of
reforming the law about reporting family proceedings. It contains a detailed
legal framework regulating that topic. However, commencement of these provisions
is under review by the coalition government and they are not currently in
force.
The 2010 Act will also empower Local Safeguarding Children Boards to
require safeguarding information to be provided to them. When these provisions
of the Act are in force, they will remove some of the difficulties faced by
Boards in securing the co-operation of external agencies in their review
work.
Finally, the Act amends the law relating to SEN in England. In particular,
it creates new rights for parents to appeal to Tribunal where a local authority
has refused to amend a statement following a statutory review. These provisions
of the 2010 Act came into force on 1 September 2010.
