12—Amendment of section 19—Investigations
Section 19(1)—delete subsection (1) and substitute:
(1) If the Chief
Executive—
(a)
suspects on reasonable grounds that a child is at risk; and
(b)
believes that the matters causing the child to be at risk are not being
adequately addressed,
the Chief Executive must cause an assessment of, or investigation into, the
circumstances of the child to be carried out or must effect an alternative
response which more appropriately addresses the potential or actual risk to
the child.
