Children previously in care (CPiC)

A Previously Looked After Child (CPiC) is a child who is no longer looked after by the local authority because they are subject to an Adoption Order (AO), a Special Guardianship Order (SGO), or a Child Arrangement Order (CAO). This does not include children who have been ‘looked after’ and have returned to the care of their parents.

Virtual School’s role for children previously in care is to promote their educational achievement through the provision of advice and information to parents/guardians, schools and settings, and other local authority teams such as Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Adoption Connects.
