I move amendment No. 23:
In page 11, to delete lines 1 to 5 and substitute the following:“(4) A mandated person shall not be required to make a report to the Agency under subsection (1) where the sole basis for the mandated person’s knowledge, belief or suspicion is as a result of information he or she has acquired, received or become aware of—(a) from—(i) another mandated person, or(b) pursuant to his or her role, as a member of staff of the Agency, in carrying out an assessment as to whether a child who is the subject of a report or any other child has been, is being or is at risk of being harmed, or
(ii) a person, other than a mandated person, who has reported jointly with a mandated person pursuant to subsection (6)(b)*, that a report has been made to the Agency in respect of the child concerned by that other person,
(c) pursuant to his or her role in assisting the Agency with an assessment as to whether a child who is the subject of a report or any other child has been, is being or is at risk of being harmed.”.
