288 AMENDMENT
288 </h3>
289 <p>
289 This chapter was reviewed and amended by Bexley in April 2017 to confirm that a Disruption Meeting
should be convened if the placement is at risk of breaking down. The meeting should be chaired by
the fostering manager if the child is placed in a Bexley placement, or otherwise the IRO or
Placement Manager.

298 1. Placement Planning Meetings
298 </h3>
299 <p>
299 Placement Planning meetings should be convened as part of the process of identifying and placing a
child - as set out in the
299 <a href="p_place_fost_care.html">
299 Placements in Foster Care Procedure
299 </a>
299 and the
299 <a href="p_place_resi_care.html">
299 Placements in Residential Care Procedure
299 </a>
299 . The first Placement Planning Meeting in relation to a placement should be held before the
placement. Where this is not possible because of the urgency of the situation, it should be held
in order that the Placement Plan is prepared within 5 working days of the start of the placement.
299 </p>
300 <p>
300 Further Placement Planning Meetings should be held at intervals agreed with the manager of the
residential home or the foster carers and their supervising social worker - or as required for
example where there are issues to be resolved in relation to the day to day arrangements for the
placement.
300 </p>
301 <p>
301 The social worker and home manager/foster carers supervising social worker will agree the best
format and venue for the meeting and who will chair the meeting.
301 </p>
302 <p>
302 The people listed below should contribute to the meetings:
302 </p>
303 <ol>
304 <li>
304 The child's social worker and/or other professional associated with the child e.g. Personal
Adviser or advocate;
304 </li>
305 <li>
305 The child;
305 </li>
306 <li>
306 The child's parents;
306 </li>
307 <li>
307 For children in residential care, the child's link worker/keyworker and, where appropriate the
home manager;
307 </li>
308 <li>
308 For children in foster care, the foster carers and their supervising social worker.
308 </li>
309 </ol>
310 Before any meeting, the chairperson should obtain or be updated on the following, if available:
311 <ul>
312 <li>
312 The child's Placement Plan (recorded on the Placement Information Record on ICS);
312 </li>
313 <li>
313 Any work which has been undertaken in supporting the child's placement;
313 </li>
314 <li>
314 If relevant: the child's Care Plan, Personal Education Plan and Pathway Plan.
314 </li>
315 </ul>
316 <p>
316 Where the proposed placement has the effect of disrupting the arrangements made for the child's
education and training - see
316 <a href="p_educ_lac.html">
316 Education of Looked After and Previously Looked After Children Procedure
316 </a>
316 .
316 </p>
317 <p>
317 Where the proposed placement is out of area, see
317 <a href="p_out_area_place.html">
317 Out of Area Placements Procedure
317 </a>
317 .
317 </p>
318 <p>
318 The chairperson should also ensure that the child, parent(s) and others who have been asked to
contribute understand the purpose of the meeting, how it will be conducted and are given the
opportunity to put their views and suggestions.
318 </p>
319 <p>
319 If there are concerns about the suitability of the placement, consideration should be given to the
following:
319 </p>
320 <ul>
321 <li>
321 Whether it is possible to sustain the placement until the next Looked After Review by, for
example, providing additional support to the placement;
321 </li>
322 <li>
322 Bringing forward the date of the next Looked After Review;
322 </li>
323 <li>
323 Ending the placement.
