This Order amends Part 2 of schedule 2 to the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman Act 2002.

Schedule 2 to that Act specifies persons liable to investigation by the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman.

The Order adds into the schedule Children’s Hearings Scotland, the National Convener of Children’s Hearings Scotland and the Principal Reporter. This is in consequence of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 which establishes both Children’s Hearings Scotland and the National Convener of Children’s Hearings Scotland and removes the Principal Reporter from membership of the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration.
