Part 1: The Historical Institutional Abuse Redress Board Section 14: Initial payment of award
This section provides a panel with the power to order an initial payment of £10,000 on an application.
	Subsection (1) means that the power to order an initial payment of £10,000 does not apply to a claim for abuse relating to having being sent to Australia under the Child Migrants Programme.
	Subsection (2) provides a panel with the power, where it considers it appropriate to do so, to order the minimum amount of compensation £10,000 to be paid to a person before it has made its final determination on the application.
	Subsection (3) provides that when a panel makes its final determination on the total compensation to be awarded, it must order for the additional amount above £10,000 to be paid to the applicant.
	Subsection (4) confirms that where an award of compensation has been adjusted under section 13, it is this amount which is the total compensation referred to in subsection (3).
