The Children (Private Arrangements for Fostering) Regulations 1991
These Regulations provide for the arrangements for fostering children privately. Such arrangements were previously governed by provisions of the Foster Children Act 1980 (c. 6). The main difference between the provisions under the 1980 Act and the Children Act 1989, under which these Regulations are made, is that much of the detail concerning notification, visiting and the local authority’s welfare duty towards privately fostered children which was contained in the 1980 Act is now contained with modifications in these Regulations rather than the 1989 Act.
