These Regulations make provision in connection with the redress scheme established by the Redress for Survivors (Historical Child Abuse in Care) (Scotland) Act 2021 (“the Act”).

Regulation 2 provides that the waiver to be signed and returned by an applicant under section 46 of the Act in order to accept an offer of a redress payment must be in the form and have the contents provided for in the schedule to the Regulations.

Regulation 3 requires that Scottish Ministers provide certain information, or set out details of where to find such information, to a person to whom an offer of a redress payment is being made under section 36 (determination of applications) or, as the case may be, section 57 (outcome of a review) of the Act.

Impact assessments have been prepared in relation to the Act and instruments under it and will be published online at www.gov.scot.
