# The Review of Children’s Cases (Amendment No.2 and Transitional Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations makes further provision in relation to persons appointed as independent reviewing officers under regulation 2A of the Review of Children’s Cases Regulations 1991 (the principal Regulations). Regulation 2A was inserted by the Review of Children’s Cases (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2004, which come into force on 27th September 2004.
The further provision made by these Regulations relates to the requirement in regulation 2A(2) of the principal Regulations for the person appointed as an independent reviewing officer to be registered as a social worker.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations amends regulation 2A(2) of the principal Regulations by adding a reference to the register maintained by the Care Council for Wales. This corrects a previous omission.
Regulation 3 provides for a transitional period from 27th September 2004 to 31st March 2005 during which registration is not compulsory if the person has qualifications that would be acceptable for the purposes of registration by the General Social Care Council.
These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
