(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations prescribe the qualifications to be held by the person appointed to the office of chief social work officer by a local authority under Part I of the Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968.
The 1968 Act imposed an obligation on a local authority to appoint a director of social work. The Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 replaces that obligation as from 1st April 1996 with a requirement to appoint a chief social work officer.
Regulation 3 prescribes the qualifications to be held by a chief social work officer. These qualifications are similar to those which were prescribed in relation to directors of social work.
Regulation 4 revokes the previous Regulations which prescribed the qualifications of a director of social work appointed by a local authority.
