Detailed Provisions Exceptions to eligibility Section 23: Power to create exceptions to eligibility
49.This section provides a power for the Scottish Ministers by regulations (subject to the affirmative procedure) to make provision about specific circumstances in which an applicant would not be eligible to apply to the redress scheme. This could, for example, be in relation to certain types of abuse (such as certain types of peer abuse – e.g. a one-off fight between peers which was not known about by the residential institution) or in relation to the circumstances in which a person abused came to be resident in a relevant care setting (such as short-term private respite care in a children’s home).
