EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


The Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 inserts into the Children Act 1989 a new section (section 17A) enabling local authorities to make direct payments to persons with parental responsibility for a disabled child or to a disabled child aged 16 or 17, in lieu of services which would have otherwise been provided for them by the local authority under section 17 of the Children Act.

These regulations specify those persons from whom services may not be secured by means of a direct payment (regulation 2).

These regulations also specify the maximum periods of residential accommodation which may be secured by means of a direct payment (regulation 3).

Notes:

 [1] 1989 c.41; section 17A was inserted by section 7(1) of the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000 (c.16) ("the 2000 Act"). As regards Wales, the functions of the Secretary of State under the Children Act 1989 ("the 1989 Act") are transferred to the National Assembly for Wales under article 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the National Assembly for Wales (Transfer of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/672). Under section 7(2) of the 2000 Act, that Order is to be treated as referring to the 1989 Act as amended by section 7 of the 2000 Act. In section 17A(3) of the 1989 Act "prescribed" means, by reference to section 105(1) of the Act, prescribed by regulations made under the Act.back
