Stating “should consider whether a referral” seems to introduce some form of discretion. Is this an additional process, that there should be some referrals above and beyond children in need? If you are already deemed to be a child in need—and that is the case for disabled children: children suffering from a mental disorder are already deemed to be children in need—the Government say there is no need to amend the Children Act because these children will already automatically be children in need.
