By the 30 June 2026, the provider must ensure that all personal plans and risk assessments are written in child-friendly, accessible language and fully reflect the each young person's identified needs. To achieve this the provider must: a) Review and revise the language in personal plans and risk assessments and strategies to ensure it is age appropriate, clear, and easily understood by children and young people and their families. b) Implement structured risk and crisis management approaches, ensuring primary, secondary and tertiary strategies are clearly defined. These must provide staff with consistent, proportionate guidance on how to manage risk. c) Specify and justify any safe holds within relevant plans, ensuring these are only included when necessary. Evidence must be in place to demonstrate that each safe hold has been individually risk assessed, approved and reviewed in line with current best practice. d) Ensure plans are regularly reviewed, with updates clearly recor2. By the 30 May 2026, the provider must ensure they review how they implement their child and adult protection procedures. To do this the provider must at a minimum: a) Ensure all employees are fully aware of protection procedures and their responsibility in responding to concerns raised swiftly. b) Ensure all concerns are reported immediately to the lead agency, sharing all information relating to safeguarding of current young people. This is to comply with Regulation 4(1)(a) of The Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/210). This is to ensure that care and support is consistent with the Health and Social Care Standards (HSCS) which state that: 'I am protected from harm, neglect, abuse, bullying and exploitation by people who have a clear understanding of their responsibilities' (HSCS 3.20).

3. By the 30 May 2026, the provider must ensure that no young person is admitted to or continues to live in, the service without documented evidence confirming the lawful status of the placement. To achieve this the provider must: a) Obtain and securely retain written legal authority—including any court order or equivalent statutory documentation—before accepting any young people coming to live in the service. b) Verify the legal status of all existing agreements of care for young people, ensuring that up to date documentation is in place and clearly recorded within the young person’s personal file and care plan. This is in order to comply with Regulation 4(1)(a) (Welfare of users) of The Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (Requirements for Care Services) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/210). sp
