Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes have been prepared by the Scottish Parliament’s Non-Government Bills Unit on behalf of John Finnie, the member who introduced the Bill for this Act in the Parliament, in order to assist the reader of the Children (Equal Protection from Assault) (Scotland) Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Parliament.
2.The Notes should be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section, or a part of a section, does not seem to require any explanation, none is given.
