  "text": "(1) In this Act, “interim variation”, in relation to a compulsory supervision order made in relation to a child, means a variation of the order having effect for the relevant period.\n(2) An interim variation may vary the order so that, instead of specifying a place or places at which the child is to reside under section 83(2)(a), the order specifies that the child is to reside at any place of safety away from the place where the child predominantly resides.\n(3) Section 83(5)(a) does not apply to the varied order.\n(4) In subsection (1), the “relevant period” means the period beginning with the variation of the order and ending with whichever of the following first occurs—\n(a) the next children's hearing arranged in relation to the child,\n(b) the disposal by the sheriff of an application made by virtue of section 93(2)(a) or 94(2)(a) relating to the child,\n(c) a day specified in the variation,\n(d) the expiry of the period of 22 days beginning with the day on which the order is varied.",
