I move amendment No. 1:

In page 9, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:
“(c) to represent the child’s interests in the proceedings to which the guardian ad litemhas been appointed.”.

This amendment was previously passed in 2019. We believe it should go back in because it is explicit in the context of the role of the guardian ad litem, GAL. I would welcome the Minister's response.
