You'll need to log in or create an account to access the form (notification of a child placed in or out of Shropshire).

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, available to download on the West Mercia Consortium website, so that we have a detailed understanding of the child’s vulnerabilities.

If you're not using the online form, you need to send your notifications of looked-after children placed in Shropshire to the following email address: cpsdutydesk@shropshire.gcsx.gov.uk

This email address should also be used to:

• Notify us when children are leaving Shropshire
• Inform us if children have a child protection plan
• Inform us of any update to a previous form you have completed

When we receive this information, we will:

• Record on our social care database
• Record on our education data base
• inform our 'Virtual School'
• Inform local police
• inform child health
