HiThere''s a blog here explaining why it is unlikely that people who have children accommodated under section 20 will be asked to pay...http://suesspiciousminds.com/2013/08/14/hope-your-child-enjoyed-their-stay-now-if-you-could-just-settle-your-bill-please/

Given that we would not be placing our AD into care if we had had the appropriate support in the first place, we would strongly contest ANY attempt to obtain funding from us. JM

It has always been this way, if a parent can pay they can ask, but as the blogger goes onto point out, it will b difficult to get parents to divulge their financial position and even if they did and they refused to pay there is very little that can be done.When one of min was sect 20 I am sure that the child benefit was taken...and as I was in receipt of adoption allowance that stopped immediately...even though we were still supporting our child and providing clothes outings etc, so in theory I supposed we were charged, we did not want her in care, there was a CP investigation going on, she refused to come home and our offers of alternative...living with extended family was refused as they could not get her to her school...due to distance.Also as jm states, had proper support/therapy been given most of us who have children on sect 20 most likely will not have been in that position.
