EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations are made under section 86A of the Children Act 1989, which imposes a duty on local authorities to make arrangements for children in long-term residential care to be visited by a representative of the authority. Section 86A of that Act is a new provision which was inserted by section 18 of the Children and Young Persons Act 2008.
Regulation 3 prescribes the frequency with which a representative of the authority must visit the accommodated child.
Regulation 4 requires the representative of the authority to speak to the accommodated child in private during each visit, unless it would be inappropriate to do so.
Regulation 5 requires the representative to prepare a report of each visit. It also sets out the contents of the report and the persons to whom the local authority must give a copy.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
