(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Accommodation of Children (Charge and Control) Regulations 1988 by making provision for the immediate placement under the 1988 Regulations of a child where a local authority consider this to be necessary. The requirements specified in the new provision are to be satisfied, pending compliance with the requirements which apply to placements under the 1988 Regulations other than immediate placements as soon as is practicable after any immediate placement has been made.
