Explanatory note
Recent amendments to the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998 require a designated agency having supervisory responsibility for certain children or young persons in supported out-of-home care to conduct reviews of those out-of-home care arrangements at least once every 12 months. A review must be undertaken if a child or young person has been in supported out-of-home care for a period or periods that in total exceed 3 months in any 12 month period.
The object of this Regulation is to provide that those amendments do not apply to any such supported out-of-home care arrangements that were in force immediately before the amendments commenced on 24 January 2010.

This Regulation is made under the Children and Young Persons (Care and Protection) Act 1998, including section 264 (the general regulation-making power) and clause 1 of Schedule 3 (the savings and transitional regulation-making power).
