When parties request to attend a case review, the following guidelines shall apply:

A. The local review board shall agree to hear anyone who formally requests to be heard at a child's case review as long as the person has some connection with or knowledge of the child's or family's situation.

B. Because of the confidential nature of the case reviews, persons shall not attend reviews merely for the purpose of observing.

C. Legislators, public officials directly concerned with the Children's Foster Care Review Board System, or other persons with a legitimate interest in the review process may be permitted to attend a review hearing if:

(1) The agencies, child-caring facilities or residential group care homes which have children's cases scheduled for review have agreed in advance to the presence of the observer and have agreed upon the circumstances of the person's attendance such as is required to maintain confidentiality as required by statute. (See Section 20-7-690, Code of Laws of South Carolina (1976), as amended.)

(2) The observer has signed a confidentiality form.
