Where a child protection plan is in place, it should be discharged only where deemed appropriate at a child protection conference with multiagency representation. Local authorities must put in place a care plan when a care order is granted and take the necessary steps to enforce supervision orders to ensure that children are protected from significant harm. Plans must be reviewed at least every six months. We are confident that the current system and the strengthened focus on multiagency child protection is robust and that there is sufficient accountability about discharging child protection plans, so that this amendment is not necessary.
