I know the amendment has been ruled out of order but I wish to respond briefly and say one sentence on the matter if I may. I am of the view that provision is already provided for in the Child Care Act. The agency will have a positive duty under section 3 of the Child Care Act 1991 to promote the welfare of children in its area who are not receiving adequate care and protection.
