EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order designates a special care order made under the Children and Young Persons (Guernsey) Law 1967, as amended by the Children and Young Persons (Amendment) (Guernsey) Law 1971, for the purposes of section 26 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969.

This section enables the Secretary of State to authorise a local authority in England or Wales to receive into their care any person who is the subject of an order made by a court in the Isle of Man or any of the Channel Islands which is designated for the purposes of the section. Orders which may be so designated are orders which provide for the committal to the care of a public authority of a person under the age of eighteen and which appear to the Secretary of State to be of the same nature as a care order (other than an interim order) within the meaning of the 1969 Act.
