(ii)by behaving in a sexually violent or sexually coercive way, has caused or risked causing harm (whether physical or not) to another person,

(i)the child, and

(ii)a parent of the child,

agree to an investigative interview of the child being conducted.

(2)Where this section applies, an investigative interview of the child in relation to the behaviour mentioned in subsection (1)(b) is authorised for so long as the agreement mentioned in subsection (1)(c) is not withdrawn.

(b)the child or that parent fails to comply in a material respect with the plans for the investigative interview authorised by subsection (2) drawn up under section 47.

(4)Refusal by the child to answer questions during the interview does not constitute withdrawal of agreement under subsection (3)(b).

(5)Where agreement under—

(a)subsection (1)(c)(i) is withdrawn, a constable may, under section 42(1), apply to the sheriff for a child interview order,

(b)subsection (1)(c)(ii) is withdrawn, a constable may—

(i)seek agreement for the purposes of that subsection from another parent of the child, or
