In Loco Parentis is a Latin phrase which means a teacher acts on behalf of the parent of a child while that child is in their care at school and so on.
The word Locum is applied to a school teacher or a doctor who fills the shoes of another person in the same job who is away on leave etc.

"In loco parentis", or literally "in place of the parents", is an idea from English common law meaning that schools are free to act in the best interests of their students just as a parent would. Court cases, such as New Jersey v. T. L. O. (1985) and Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeir (1987), have established the precedent that schools may limit a minor's freedoms since he or she isn't an adult.

The term in loco parentis, Latin for "in the place of a parent", refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from British common law, it is applied as a broad provision allowing such institutions to act in the best interests of the students as they see fit, allowing what would otherwise be considered violations of the students' civil liberties. Cheadle Hulme School's ethos is based around this.
