(This note is not part of the Regulations)
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.
