Regulation 4 Constitution and functions of panels
The National Assembly must, at the request of a prospective adopter, constitute a panel for the purpose of reviewing a qualifying determination in relation to the prospective adopter.
The members of the panel must be drawn from a list of persons appointed and serving as members of adoption agency panels in Wales (in these Regulations referred to as “the central list”), kept by the National Assembly who are considered by the National Assembly to be suitable, by virtue of their skills, qualifications or experience to be members of a panel.
A panel established under paragraph (1) must —
review the qualifying determination; and
make a recommendation to the adoption agency which made the qualifying determination as to whether or not a prospective adopter is suitable to be an adoptive parent.
