# The Local Authority Adoption Service (Wales) Regulations 2007, Regulation 19: Arrangements for the absence of manager


Each local authority must establish a system to ensure that where the manager proposes to be or is absent from the local authority for a continuous period of 20 working days or more an identified person is responsible for the management of the adoption service until such time as the manager returns to the adoption service or (as the case may be) a new manager is appointed by the authority.
