(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations provide for Strategic Co-ordinating Groups to be re-named Regional Resilience Partnerships, and the agglomeration of the co-ordination areas from eight to three, by amendment of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”).

Regulation 2(2)(a) amends the definition of “co-ordination area” in the 2005 Regulations so that there are three co-ordination areas comprising the areas mentioned there.

Regulation 2(2)(b), (2)(c) and (3) amend the 2005 Regulations to remove the definition of “Strategic Co-ordinating Group”, insert a new term of “Regional Resilience Partnership” and replace all references in the 2005 Regulations to Strategic Co-ordinating Group with Regional Resilience Partnership.
