CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 2008 - SECT 352Q Intervention—intention to cancel notice

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 2008 - SECT 352Q

    (1)     This section applies if—

        (a)     the director-general—

              (i)     suspects on reasonable grounds that an approved care and protection organisation is noncompliant or likely to become noncompliant; and

              (ii)     considers that the noncompliance would be better dealt with under this section than by giving the organisation a noncompliance notice or noncompliance direction; or

        (b)     the director-general has given an approved care and protection organisation a noncompliance direction about the noncompliance and the organisation has not complied with the direction.

    (2)     The director-general may give the organisation notice that the director-general intends to cancel the organisation's approval (an  intention to cancel notice ).

    (3)     An intention to cancel notice must—

        (a)     be in writing; and

        (b)     state that the director-general intends to cancel the organisation's approval because of the organisation's failure to comply with the noncompliance direction; and

        (c)     state that the organisation may give a written submission to the director-general showing cause why the organisation's approval should not be cancelled; and

        (d)     state that submissions may be given to the director-general only during the 28 working days after the day the intention to cancel notice is given to the organisation.

    (4)     If the director-general gives an intention to cancel notice to an organisation, the director-general must also take reasonable steps to tell a person with daily care responsibility for each child or young person likely to be affected about the notice.

Note     Daily care responsibility —see  s 19.
