Regulation 13 Review of case where no placement made within six months of freeing for adoption

Where a child has been freed for adoption by virtue of an order under section 14 of the 1975 Act (freeing child for adoption) and six months have elapsed since the making of that order and the child does not have his home with a prospective adopter, the adoption agency in which parental rights and duties are then vested by virtue of section 14 or 23 of the 1975 Act shall review that child's case to determine why no placement has been made and what action if any should be taken to safeguard and promote his welfare.

A case to which paragraph (1) applies shall be subject to such a review at intervals of not more than six months.
