You should also use this form to notify us:

• Of any change of address
• Of any change in circumstances for the placed child
• That a child is leaving the area

Please ensure that notifications of children placed in Shropshire highlight any particular risks or vulnerabilities to assist the professional network in the county to respond effectively to any issues that may arise. Where you indicate that there's a risk of CSE (child sexual exploitation) you also need to complete a sexual exploitation risk assessment form so that we have a detailed understanding of the child’s vulnerabilities. This is available to download from the regional child protection procedures website. (You just need to choose 'Child Exploitation Risk Assessment Tool' from the bullet-point list).
