The statutory guidance for local authorities, which sets out duties under the Private Fostering Regulations (England) 2005 including timeframes to visits of privately fostered children, remains current. There are no plans to update it. The guidance is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/children-act-1989-private-fostering.
