EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

The independent reviewer was established under the Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Act 2019 (“the Act”). The independent reviewer’s functions include reviewing information which relates to behaviour which took place when a person was under the age of 12 and determining whether or not that information ought to be included on an enhanced disclosure certificate or a Protection of Vulnerable Groups scheme record.

These Regulations make modifications to the functions of the independent reviewer which are needed as a result of the Age of Criminal Responsibility (Scotland) Act 2019 (Consequential Provisions and Modifications) Order 2021 (“the Order”).

The Order makes provision in relation to the independent reviewer which applies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In particular, the order places a requirement on specified persons in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (such as chief police officers) to refer certain information to the independent reviewer. These regulations therefore make provision to require the independent reviewer to review that information and to notify the person to whom the information relates: that it has been received from those specified persons, to give the person a chance to make representations, to notify the person of the outcome of the review and to give the person a right to appeal that review decision.

Regulation 2 achieves this by adding new subsections (A2) and (A3) to section 16 of the Act. It also modifies section 18 of the Act so that the requirement on the independent reviewer to carry out a review extends to the information mentioned in those new subsections (A2) and (A3) of section 16. Those subsections also cover the information mentioned in section 14(1)(a) and 14(1)(b) of the Act.

Regulation 2 also modifies section 19(2) of the Act so that the independent reviewer has to notify the person in England, Wales or Northern Ireland of the determination under section 18(4) of the Act regarding the information.

In consequence of the new subsections (A2) and (A3) of section 16 of the Act, regulation 2 also modifies section 20(1) of the Act so that the right to appeal that determination extends to the person in England, Wales or Northern Ireland.
