Part 13Review of compulsory supervision order
Review of relevant person determination
142Review of determination that person be deemed a relevant person
1
This section applies where, in relation to a child—
a
a children’s hearing determines a review of a compulsory supervision order by varying or continuing the order,
b
an individual is deemed to be a relevant person by virtue of section 81, and
c
it appears to the children’s hearing that the individual may no longer have (nor recently have had) a significant involvement in the upbringing of the child.
2
The children’s hearing must review whether the individual should continue to be deemed to be a relevant person in relation to the child.
3
If the children’s hearing considers that it is appropriate to do so, the children’s hearing may defer determining the review under subsection (2) until a subsequent children’s hearing under this section.
4
Otherwise, if the children’s hearing determines that the individual does not have (and has not recently had) a significant involvement in the upbringing of the child then—
a
the children’s hearing must direct that the individual is no longer to be deemed to be a relevant person, and
b
section 81(4) ceases to apply in relation to the individual (except in relation to any appeal arising from the determination mentioned in subsection (1)(a)).
