These Regulations were published by the Department of Education in 2011 (Department of Education, 2011b; Dunster, 2011; Lawson, 2011a). They set out the regulatory framework for foster care in England and, pertinent to social work and foster care, cover: the assessment and approval of foster carers; foster carer reviews; termination of foster carers’ approval; and fostering panels. The Independent Review Mechanism's (IRM) relationship to foster carers’ approval, review, the fostering panel and the fostering service is also noted. These Regulations, as they related to assessment and approval of foster carers, were amended in 2013 by the Department of Education (Department of Education, 2013b).
