These include services that are, or are similar to, services which local authorities provide in the exercise of their social services functions. These Regulations prescribe a person who carries on or manages an adult placement scheme for the purposes of section 42, and provide that the regulation making powers in Part 2 of the Act (regulation 2(2)) shall apply to such persons with the modifications set out in regulation 3.
