Detailed Provisions Meanings of “relevant care setting” and “resident” Section 22: Meaning of “resident”
47.Subsection (1) defines “resident” in relation to a relevant care setting. This could include, for example, circumstances where a child was absent from the care setting while still under the care of the relevant care provider (or someone authorised by them), such as during a day excursion.
48.Subsection (2) provides that it does not matter whether the child was within or outside Scotland during any period of absence from a relevant care setting which is covered by subsection (1). The child will still be deemed to have been resident in that setting whilst under the care of the provider of that setting or a person authorised by that provider (for example, this may cover periods outside Scotland on excursions or holidays).
