- A care order in Britain, is a court order
- that places a child in the care of a local
- authority. There were 63,000 children in care
- in the UK in 1993. From October 1991 a person
- who is a parent or guardian of the child may
- exercise responsibility independently of the
- authority, provided that the person does not
- act in a manner incompatible with the care
- order.
