the review and to submit information in writing to the board: a. The division or agency; b. The child; c. The parents including a non-custodial parent or legal guardian; d. The temporary caretaker; e. Any other person or agency whom the board determines has an interest in or information

relating to the welfare of the child; f. The counsel for a parent, child or other interested party who has provided or is

providing representation in the case before the board; and If the child's caretaker is a resource family parent or relative, the caretaker shall

receive written notice of , and shall have a right to be heard at , the review, but the caretaker shall not be made a party to the review solely on the

basis of the notice and right to be heard. The board may determine who may be in attendance at any particular portion of its

meeting. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to exclude judges and court support staff from

attending review board meetings. The written notice shall inform the person of his right to attend the review and to

submit written information and shall be prepared in a manner which will encourage

the person's attendance at the review. Notice to the child may be waived by the court on a case by case basis either on its

own motion or on the petition of any of the above persons in cases where the court

determines that notice would be harmful to the child. A waiver of notice to the child shall not waive the notice requirement to counsel

for the child or other representatives of the child. The review board may seek information from any agency which has been involved with

the child, parents or legal guardian or temporary caretaker. If the agency fails to provide the requested information, the court may, upon the

request of the board, issue a subpena to the agency for the information. The board shall conduct a review and make recommendations based upon the written materials;

provided, however, that the board shall afford any party or person entitled to notice

pursuant to this section a reasonable opportunity to appear and to present his views

and recommendations. Upon the request of the board, the Family Part of the Chancery Division of the Superior

Court may subpena a person to attend the review board meeting. A designated agency shall provide relevant and necessary information to the board

regarding a child who is reviewed by the board.
