## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Childcare (Exemptions from Registration) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/979) (the “2008 Order”).
Article 2 of the Order amends article 3 of the 2008 Order to provide that a foster parent who provides childcare for a child who has been placed for fostering with a different local authority foster parent will be exempt from registration as a childminder under the Childcare Act 2006. Only foster parents approved under the Fostering Services Regulations 2011 (S.I. 2011/581) will be exempt from registration; those temporarily approved under the Care Planning, Placement and Case Review (England) Regulations 2010 (S.I. 2010/959) will not be exempt from registration.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no additional impact on business, charities, voluntary bodies or the public sector is foreseen. It is considered that there will be an overall reduction in burdens on individual foster parents.
