Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) An authorised officer or police officer who is investigating an allegation of harm, or risk of harm, to a child, or assessing the child's need of protection because of the allegation must give details of the alleged harm or risk of harm to at least 1 of the child's parents.
(2) Also, as soon as practicable after completing the investigation, the officer must--
(a) tell at least 1 of the child's parents about the outcome of the investigation; and
(b) if asked by the parent--give the information in writing to the parent.
(3) However, if the officer reasonably believes--
(a) someone may be charged with a criminal offence for the harm to the child and the officer's compliance with subsection (1) or (2) may jeopardise an investigation into the offence; or
(b) compliance with the subsection may expose the child to harm;
the officer need only comply with the subsection to the extent the officer considers is reasonable and appropriate in the particular circumstances.
