These Regulations make provision in respect of the decision making process for the implementation of secure accommodation authorisations by the chief social work officer and the removal of children from secure accommodation in addition to the decision of the head of unit whether to consent to the placement of the child in secure accommodation.
The Regulations further provide a process of review of the child’s placement in secure accommodation (regulation 10). Regulation 7 allows the child and their relevant person to require a review of a decision made by the chief social work officer not to implement a secure accommodation authorisation.
Where the head of unit decides not to consent to the placement of a child in secure accommodation, regulation 9 requires the case to be brought before the children’s hearing for a review of the relevant order.
Regulations 11 to 14 make provision for the appeal to the sheriff under section 162 of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011.
Regulation 15 corrects an error in the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (Safeguarders: Further Provision) Regulations 2012.
