1. To delete Proposition 12d and substitute therefor:
“To change the threshold test for a Community Parenting Order so that it;
- is suitably adapted to our context;
- is distinct and separate from the criteria for referral to the Convenor or the making of a care requirement;
- it removes the requirement for at least one of the conditions in the current Section 35 to be made out;
- is in line with the 2004 Policy Letter that there is no foreseeable prospect of the child being cared for safely within the family; and
- is consistent with the principles that there is no reasonable prospect of the child’s parents or any other member of the child’s family being able to care for the child within a timescale suitable to the needs and interests of the child. [This will in practice mean that the family assessments will have to be completed prior to the final order being met]”
