The section 10/75 in place in this arrangement constitutes a transition between the previous Section 10 and an intention to align to Section 75 agreements throughout the secure estate.\nPursuant to Section 10 of the Childrens Act 2004 and Section 75 of the NHS Act 2006 the Local Authority must make arrangements to promote co-operation between the authority and the authority\u0027s relevant partners. These arrangements are to be made with a view to improving the well-being of children in the authority\u0027s area relating to their physical and mental health and emotional well-being.
