1Looked-after children and previously looked-after children — Children in public care at the date the application is made, supported by a letter from the relevant Local Authority Children's Services Department. Previously looked-after children are those who ceased to be looked after because they were adopted or became subject to a child arrangement order or special guardianship order, including children adopted from care outside England (IAPLAC).
