Subsection (2) applies where—
an application is made for a permanence order, or variation of such an order, in respect of a child,
the application has not been determined (or, as the case may be, withdrawn or abandoned), and
a children's hearing proposes to F1 make or vary (other than by interim variation, as defined in section 140 of the Children’s Hearing (Scotland) Act 2011 (asp 1) ) a compulsory supervision order in respect of the child.
The children's hearing must prepare for the court to which the application has been made a report containing such information as the Scottish Ministers may by regulations prescribe.
In subsection (1)(a), the reference to variation of a permanence order includes a reference to amendment of the order to include provision granting authority for the child to whom the order relates to be adopted.
