Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulation)
These Regulations make provisions concerning the duties of any person removing a child to, or keeping him in, a place of safety.
The Regulations specify the persons who should be notified and the information about which they should or may be notified where a child has been removed to a place of safety by a constable or where a justice of the peace has granted an authorisation to protect a child. They also provide for a constable keeping a child in a place of safety only so long as he has reasonable cause to believe certain things are satisfied.
The Regulations also deal with the arrangements for giving notice where an authorisation ceases to have effect; for informing and taking account of the views of a child who is subject to emergency protection measures and certain other matters related to the child’s welfare; and for allowing contact with a child who is subject to emergency protection measures.
