The report by the children's hearing is prepared for the court to which the permanence order application has been made.
Under regulation 3(1) the report must contain the terms of the proposed new compulsory supervision order, any existing order and any proposed variation to an existing order. The report must state the reasons for making a new compulsory supervision order or varying an existing one.
