\par Section 7003-5.6  A.  Every case regarding a child alleged or adjudicated to be deprived shall be reviewed by the court at a hearing no later than six (6) months from the date of the child\rquote s out-of-home placement and at least once every six (6) m

\par B.  The provisions of this section shall also apply to a child who has been removed from the home of the parent or parents, legal guardian or custodian of the child after the child has been returned to that home.
\par C.  The court may set a case for a review hearing upon the motion of a party at any time, if the hearing is deemed by the court to be for the health, safety or welfare of the child and in the best interests of the child.
\par D.  In addition to the parties, adequate prior written notice of review hearings shall be provided by the Department pursuant to rules promulgated by the Commission for Human Services to the current foster parents, pre
adoptive parent, or relative providing care for the child.  A right to be heard at such hearings shall be provided by the court to the current foster parent of a child, the child\rquote

 for the child.  Such notice and right to be heard shall not be construed as requiring any foster parent, preadoptive parent or relative to be made a party to such deprived proceedings if not currently a party to the action.
\par E.  The court shall receive all
 evidence helpful in deciding the issues before the court including, but not limited to, oral and written reports, which may be admitted and relied upon to the extent of their probative value, even though not competent for purposes of an adjudicatory hear
