These Regulations amend the Regulation of Care (Requirements as to Care Services) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 2(2) and (5) disapplies from adoption services and fostering services certain requirements of regulations 4 (welfare of users) and 19 (records) of the principal Regulations.
Regulation 2(3) and (4) amends regulation 5 (personal plans) of the principal Regulations. It disapplies the requirements of regulation 5(1) from adoption services and fostering services but requires the provider of such services to provide for each service user, within a month of the date on which the service user first received the service, a plan for use of the service over the next year and to review that plan at least once every 12 months.
