Section 91(2) of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (“the 2007 Act”) defines regulated work with children as work of the type described in schedule 2 to the 2007 Act. This Order modifies schedule 2 to the 2007 Act mainly in consequence of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”).
Article 3 of this Order substitutes paragraph 20 of schedule 2 to the 2007 Act. This modification provides that members of the national Children’s Panel (which replaces the 32 local children’s panels) will be listed in schedule 2 and so will be in regulated work with children under the 2007 Act. The 2011 Act abolishes Children’s Panel Advisory Committees and article 3 also removes members of those committees, and members of joint advisory committees and sub committees, from schedule 2. Article 3 also inserts the various personnel working within the children’s hearings system, under the 2011 Act, into paragraph 20 of schedule 2. These personnel are: members of Children’s Hearings Scotland (“CHS”); members of staff of CHS; members of area support teams; members of the Scottish Children’s Reporter Administration (“SCRA”); members of staff of SCRA; and members of the Safeguarders Panel. Article 4 provides that the National Convener of CHS and the Principal Reporter will also be added to schedule 2 of the 2007 Act and so will also be in regulated work with children.
