CHILD PROTECTION ACT 1999 - SECT 80A

80A Obligations if child is no longer cared for by long-term guardian

(1) This section applies if—

(a) a child protection order granting long-term guardianship of a child under section 61(f)(i) or (ii) is in force; and
(b) the child is no longer cared for by the child's long-term guardian.
Examples of situations where a child may no longer be cared for by the child's long-term guardian—
1 The child is an older child transitioning to independent living.
2 The relationship between the child and the long-term guardian has broken down to the point where the child is unable to live with the long-term guardian.

(2) The long-term guardian must immediately give the chief executive written notice that the care has ended and, if the long-term guardian knows where the child is living, that information.

(3) If the chief executive is given notice under subsection (2), the chief executive must review the child's protection and care needs, and wellbeing, and take any further action the chief executive considers appropriate.
