7.—(1) Where a childminder agency suspends a provider’s registration under regulation 6(1), it must give that provider a notice of suspension.
(2) The period for which a provider’s registration may be suspended is six weeks beginning with the date specified in the notice of suspension.
(3) Except in the circumstances outlined in paragraph (4), in a case in which a further period of suspension is based on the same circumstances as the period of suspension immediately preceding that further period of suspension, the childminder agency’s power to suspend registration may only be exercised so as to give rise to a continuous period of suspension of 12 weeks.
(4) Where it is not reasonably practicable within a period of 12 weeks—
(a)to complete any investigation into the grounds for the childminder agency’s belief referred to in regulation 6(1), or
(b)for any necessary steps to be taken to eliminate or reduce the risk of harm referred to in regulation 6(1),
the period of suspension may continue until the end of the investigation referred to in sub-paragraph (a), or until the steps referred to in sub-paragraph (b) have been taken.
