Pan London Vehicle (PLV)
Waltham Forest Council is managing the development of the Pan London Vehicle's Secure Children's Home.
Waltham Forest Council is managing the development of the London Secure Children's Home (LSCH), an entity owned by the Pan London Vehicle (PLV), which comprises all London local authorities. The council's Cabinet decided in October 2025 that Waltham Forest would take on the role of development manager for the LSCH project, which aims to provide residential, specialist care, education, health, leisure, and wellbeing services for vulnerable children across London.
Local authorities place children and young people in secure children's homes on welfare grounds, when they are a significant risk to themselves or others, and no other type of care placement can meet their complex needs and keep them safe. No further developments or upcoming discussions are detailed in the provided material.
