The Coronavirus Act 2020 (Suspension: Children and Young Persons Social Care) (Scotland) Regulations 2021
These Regulations partially suspend on 29 September 2021 the operation of section 16 (duty of local authority to assess needs: Scotland) of the Coronavirus Act 2020 (“the 2020 Act”) insofar it relates to child social care and young carers. Certain provisions of section 16 have previously been suspended in relation to adult social care and adult carers by virtue of the Coronavirus Act 2020 (Suspension: Adult Social Care) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (S.S.I. 2020/377). The partial suspension of section 16 of the 2020 Act means that those provisions no longer have effect in Scotland but are capable of being revived under section 88(3) of the 2020 Act.
