SOCIAL CARE

These Regulations oblige a local authority to waive charges for services provided under section 3(4) of the Social Care (Self-directed Support) (Scotland) Act 2013 and services provided to young carers under section 22 of the Children (Scotland) Act 1995. Section 87(1) of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 allows a local authority to make charges in respect of services provided under those enactments. However, the power to charge is subject (among other things) to regulations made under section 87(5) waiving payments in specified circumstances.
