These Regulations revoke and replace the Social Services Complaints Procedure (Wales) Regulations 2005 (“the 2005 Regulations”) and introduce a new procedure which makes provision for complaints to local authorities about the exercise of their social services functions, with the exception of certain functions capable of being considered as representations under the Children Act 1989 and under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 which are dealt with in accordance with the Representations Procedure (Wales) Regulations 2014.
