269.Section 88 contains an example of the way in which the regulation making power in section 87 could be used to impose requirements on local authorities about the circumstances in which a looked after child may be placed with their parent or other person with parental responsibility. Such regulations may include requirements about a local authority’s decision making processes; requirements about the supervision or medical examination of the child; or circumstances in which children can be removed from the place where the child is living.
