Those two things are important and, I hope, would bring much-needed clarity and consistency to the difficult job that approved mental health professionals do. If they do not have that degree of consistency, they could potentially leave themselves vulnerable to legal challenge. These amendments, taken together, would ensure that the Children Act was no longer, as the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-Sloss, said, ignored and that, through the scrutiny of this Bill, we had ensured that these two very important Acts were aligned.
