This applies to all looked-after children, including those who are in the care of another local authority or being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services function at the time of making an application. A child is regarded as being in state care outside of England if they were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation or any another provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society; 2. Special social or medical reasons — Children the Trust considers have special social or medical reasons for admission. The Trust will only consider applications on social or medical grounds if they are supported by a professional recommendation from a doctor, social worker, or other appropriate professional. The supporting evidence should set out the particular social or medical reasons why the school in question is the only school which can meet the child's needs and the difficulties that would be caused if the child had to attend another school. Panels of professionally qualified people will be consulted in consideration of all applications made under priority group 2; 3.
