CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 2008 - SECT 481

What is an enduring parental responsibility provision?

    (1)     In the care and protection chapters:

"enduring parental responsibility provision" means a parental responsibility provision in a care and protection order that—

        (a)     transfers daily care responsibility and long-term care responsibility for the child or young person to a stated person; and

        (b)     does not transfer parental responsibility to the director-general; and

        (c)     is in force until the child or young person is 18 years old.

Note     The length of a care and protection order is dealt with in s 465.

    (2)     To remove any doubt, an enduring parental responsibility provision is taken to include a residence provision that authorises the stated person to decide where and with whom a child or young person must live.
