        (a)  Testimony.  All contested review hearings,
        including permanency planning reviews, shall be
        held without oral testimony, unless a motion is
        properly and timely made by a party with due notice
        to all other parties, and the motion is granted by
        the court to allow oral testimony. The parties may
        present further evidence in written affidavit or
        declaration form, and the social file and other
        appropriate diagnostic, treatment and progress
        reports and recommendations from service providers
        shall also be considered at the request of any
        party.  Any written materials shall be made
        available to the other parties at a reasonable time
        prior to the hearing.

       (b)  Parties to Be Heard.  Unless the court orders
        further testimony pursuant to subsection (a) above,
        the only persons who may be heard at review
        hearings shall be the current caseworker, the
        parent(s) or guardian/custodian of the child, the
        guardian ad litem, and any foster or relative
        caregiver entitled to an opportunity to be heard
        under state or federal law.
