These Regulations amend the Regulation of Care (Requirements as to Care Services) (Scotland) Regulations 2002 ("the principal Regulations").
Regulation 2(2) and (5) disapplies from adoption services and fostering services certain requirements of regulations 4 (welfare of users) and 19 (records) of the principal Regulations.
