(1)A local authority required to maintain an individual development plan for a looked after child must review the plan before the end of each review period.

(3)Each subsequent review period is a period of 12 months starting with—

(a)the date during the preceding review period on which a copy of a revised plan is first given under subsection (10) in relation to that review period, or

(b)where the plan has not been revised in the preceding review period the date during that period on which notice of a decision is first given under subsection (9) in relation to that period.
