The Adoption and Children Act 2002 imposes a duty on local authorities to provide advocacy services for certain categories of complainant under the Children Act 1989 representations procedure. It inserts into the Children Act 1989 a new section i.e. section 26A which requires local authorities to make arrangements for the provision of assistance, including assistance by way of representation, to care leavers and children who make or intend to make representations using the procedures under sections 24D and 26(3) of the Children Act 1989.
