The guidance points within the scheme should only be only in exceptional circumstances, when it is necessary to
assist a household move from one borough to another. This scheme sets out a commitment from all local authorities to cooperate with regards not only the exporting of households, but the receiving of households.

This updated Scheme and document was agreed in June 2020 and will be reviewed in September 2021.
