(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations apply where a child is transferred to Scotland from England and Wales or Northern Ireland whilst subject to an order made in that jurisdiction giving an authority care or supervisory responsibility for that child.
The Regulations make provision for those orders to have effect as if they were compulsory supervision orders. Regulation 7 specifies which local authority is responsible for implementing the measures of the compulsory supervision order for the purposes of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011. It also modifies sections 131(2) and 137 of that Act to provide that the children’s hearing must review the child’s case after the transfer is effected by requiring the local authority to notify the Principal Reporter who must arrange a hearing to take place no later than 20 working days after receiving that notice.
