14—Chief Executive not obliged to take action in certain circumstances

Nothing in this Act requires the Minister or the Chief Executive to take or initiate any action under this Act in relation to a notification of suspected abuse or neglect of a child if the Minister or the Chief Executive is satisfied—

            (a)         that the information or observations on which the notifier formed his or her suspicion were not sufficient to constitute reasonable grounds for the suspicion; or

            (b)         that, while there are reasonable grounds for such a suspicion, proper arrangements exist for the care and protection of the child and the matter of the apparent abuse or neglect has been or is being adequately dealt with.
