These Regulations amend the Adults with Incapacity (Supervision of Welfare Guardians etc. by Local Authorities) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 in respect of welfare guardians whose appointment is for at least a year. The intervals within which a local authority must arrange for visits, other than the initial visit, to an incapable adult and that adult’s welfare guardian are extended from three to six months. Local authorities must continue to arrange to visit the welfare guardian, as well as the incapable adult, within three months of the guardian’s appointment. The requirements on local authorities to arrange visits to welfare guardians do not apply where the Chief Social Work Officer is the welfare guardian.
