(a) a children’s hearing or, as the case may be, a sheriff has made, continued or varied a compulsory supervision order or an interim variation of a compulsory supervision order in relation to a child;

(b) a person, other than the implementation authority or a relevant person in relation to the child, has or is to have control over the child by virtue of the order; and

(c) it appears to the implementation authority that any report, or part of a report, on the child and the child’s social background which is put to the children’s hearing or sheriff for consideration of the case would assist that person in the care and supervision of the child,

then the implementation authority must act in accordance with paragraph (2).

(2) As soon as practicable after the implementation authority receives—

(a) notice under the Children’s Hearings Rules of the making, continuation or variation of the compulsory supervision order or of the interim variation of a compulsory supervision order; or

(b) notice under the sheriff court rules of the continuation or variation of the compulsory supervision order or of the making, continuation or variation of an interim variation of a compulsory supervision order,

the implementation authority must give a copy of that report, or part of that report, to the person referred to in paragraph (1)(b).

(3) Where at any time while a compulsory supervision order is in force in relation to a child it appears to the implementation authority that any information it has about the child or the child’s circumstances is relevant to the care of the child, it must make that information available to any person who has, or is to have, control over the child by virtue of the compulsory supervision order.
