Regulation 13 Placements
The registered person shall, before providing a family with accommodation in the residential family centre, or if that is not reasonably practicable, as soon as possible thereafter, draw up in consultation with the placing authority a written plan (in these Regulations referred to as “the placement plan”) setting out, in particular—
the facilities and services to be provided during the course of the placement;
the objectives and intended outcome of the placement;
an assessment of the risks, if any, which a resident at the residential family centre may present to their own health, safety and welfare or that of other residents or staff at the centre.
The registered person shall keep under review and revise the placement plan as necessary.
In preparing or reviewing the placement plan the registered person shall, so far as practicable—
seek and take account of the views of the members of the family;
take account of any relevant assessment or other report relating to any member of the family which may be provided by the placing authority.
The registered person shall supply a copy of the placement plan and any revision of it to the placing authority and to the parent within the family to which it relates.
