28—Chief Executive to prepare case plan in respect of certain children and young people

        (1)         The Chief Executive must cause a plan (a "case plan") to be prepared and maintained in respect of each prescribed child or young person.

        (2)         Without limiting the matters that may be included in a case plan, each case plan must include such of the following parts as may be relevant to the prescribed child or young person's circumstances:

            (a)         a part setting out decisions made at a family group conference;

            (b)         a part setting out a cultural maintenance plan;

            (c)         a part setting out a reunification plan;

            (d)         a part setting out contact arrangements in respect of the child or young person;

            (e)         a part setting out how disputes as to the matters included in the child or young person's case plan are to be resolved;

            (f)         any other part required by any other provision of this Act or the regulations.

        (3)         The Chief Executive may from time to time vary, substitute or revoke a case plan.

        (4)         The regulations may make further provision in relation to the preparation of case plans (including, to avoid doubt, provisions requiring the Chief Executive to take certain steps in the course of preparing a case plan).

        (5)         In this section—

"prescribed child or young person"—each of the following is a prescribed child or young person:

            (a)         a child or young person who is under the guardianship of the Chief Executive pursuant to this Act;

            (b)         a child or young person who is under the guardianship of a person other than the Chief Executive pursuant to this Act (other than a child or young person in relation to whom an order contemplated by section 91 placing the child or young person into the long-term guardianship of a person has been made);

            (c)         a child or young person who is in the custody of the Chief Executive or another person pursuant to this Act;

            (d)         a child or young person who is in the care of an approved carer pursuant to this Act;

            (e)         any other child or young person prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this definition.
