CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ACT 1999 (NO. 63 OF 1999) - SECT 235

Therapeutic protection orders

(1)     The court may make a therapeutic protection order in relation to a child or young person if satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that—

        (a)     the child or young person is in need of care and protection and therapeutic protection should be arranged for the child or young person; or

        (b)     the child or young person would be in need of care and protection if therapeutic protection were not provided.

(2)     If the court makes a therapeutic protection order

        (a)     the court must include in the order any term or condition to which it is subject; and

        (b)     unless the court otherwise orders—the order has the effect of a residence order in favour of the chief executive and a specific issues order conferring day-to-day responsibility for the care, welfare and development of the child or young person on the chief executive.
