CHILD PROTECTION ACT 1999 - SECT 51ZE

51ZE Entering an agreement

(1) The chief executive may enter a care agreement for the child if satisfied--

(a) it would be in the child's best interests to be temporarily placed in the care of someone other than the child's parents; and
(b) it is not likely that, if the parents end the agreement, the child will be at immediate risk of harm.

(2) The chief executive must obtain and have regard to the child's views before entering the care agreement, unless the child is unable to form and express views, taking into account the child's age and ability to understand.

(3) The child may also be a party to the care agreement.
