Duty to review cases

2.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2) and (3), a local authority must review the case of each family in accordance with these Regulations, for as long as the family is being supported by its IFS team.

(2) Where an IFS team is established jointly by more than one local authority, then the duty in paragraph (1) applies to the local authority in whose area the child lives and any temporary arrangements for the child to live outside the local authority area are to be disregarded for this purpose.

(3) The duty in paragraph (1) of this regulation does not apply in relation to the case of a family where one or more of the children in the family is being looked after or is being provided with accommodation by the local authority and that child’s case is (or those children’s cases are) subject to review under the Review Regulations.
