EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Act of Adjournal)
This Act of Adjournal makes amendments to the Criminal Procedure Rules 1996. Chapters 6, 40 and 41 of those Rules are amended in consequence of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 (“the 2024 Act”).
Chapter 6 is amended so that, where a child is participating in proceedings, that child is kept informed of what is happening in simple language suitable to the child’s age and understanding.
Chapter 40 is amended to facilitate the raising of UNCRC incompatibility issues under the 2024 Act in the criminal courts. It is also amended to include provision about interventions in criminal proceedings by the Commissioner for Children and Young People in Scotland and the Scottish Commission for Human Rights.
Chapter 41 is amended to facilitate the introduction of incompatibility declarators and strike down declarators by the 2024 Act.
