This consultation seeks views on proposals for the introduction of an independent review mechanism (IRM) relating to the approval of foster carers (i.e. local authority foster parents) in England. The IRM is available to all foster carers who are being assessed, or have been approved, as a foster carer by a local authority or an independent fostering agency. The consultation will run for four weeks. This timescale will allow regulations to be laid in time for the IRM to be implemented from 1 April 2009.
Launch Date:
25 Nov 2008
Closing Date: 24 Dec 2008

This guidance has been updated - following consultation, it will replace the 2005 publication "Statutory guidance on the roles and responsibilities of the Director of Children’s Services and Lead Member for Children’s Services". The guidance aims to explain how the roles of the LM and DCS are distinct and complementary - and how working together as a team, they can be most effective in driving clear improvements in outcomes for children and young people.
Launch Date:
18 Nov 2008
Closing Date: 10 Feb 2009
