attempt to do the following things— (a) identify himself or herself to a
person present at the place who is an occupier of the place;
(b) give the
person a copy of the order so far as it relates to the entry and searching of
the place;
(c) tell the person the officer is permitted by the order to enter
and search the place to find the child;
(d) give the person an opportunity to
allow the officer immediate entry to the place without using force.
(3) For
subsection (2) (a) , an authorised officer must produce the officer’s
identity card to the person for inspection. Note— For a police officer, see
the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 , section 637 .

However, the officer need not comply with subsection (2) if the officer
reasonably believes that immediate entry to the place is required to ensure
the effective exercise of powers under the order is not frustrated.
