EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend provisions in the Intensive Support and Monitoring (Scotland) Regulations 2005 ("the principal Regulations") relating to the arrangements for monitoring compliance with a movement restriction condition contained in a supervision requirement.
Regulation 4 of the principal Regulations is substituted by a new regulation 4, which sets out the arrangements for monitoring compliance, under reference to the movement restriction care plan, details of which, together with those relating to the crisis response service, are now contained within regulation 4, rather than in the interpretation provisions of the principal Regulations.
