Paragraph 4

at any time after the relevant date, an adult placement carer wishes to enter, or has entered, into a carer agreement with the provider of an adult placement scheme to provide a placement (“the placement”) for a service user;

the provider of that adult placement scheme has not applied to be registered under Part 2 of the Act; and

the adult placement carer has not entered into a carer agreement to provide a placement with the provider of another adult placement scheme who is registered under Part 2 of the Act.

the amendments set out in Schedules 5 to 7 of these Regulations shall not have effect in relation to the adult placement carer until the date on which the provider of the adult placement scheme with whom he has entered into a carer agreement to provide the placement is registered with the CSCI under Part 2 of the Act; and

the provisions of the Care Homes Regulations 2001 shall apply in relation to that adult placement carer until that date.
