The law is changing some parts of the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989. You will see changes to sections like section 39(1), section 40(1), and section 386(1). These changes are about who can make decisions, and they will now be called issuing officers, which is explained in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, specifically in section 3 and section 99. You can find more information about issuing officers in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The changes also affect how applications are made, and now they need to be verified in accordance with section 99 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
