[F191ASection 91(14) orders: further provisionE+W

(1)This section makes further provision about orders under section 91(14) (referred to in this section as “section 91(14) orders”).

(2)The circumstances in which the court may make a section 91(14) order include, among others, where the court is satisfied that the making of an application for an order under this Act of a specified kind by any person who is to be named in the section 91(14) order would put—

(a)the child concerned, or

(b)another individual (“the relevant individual”),

at risk of harm.

(3)In the case of a child or other individual who has reached the age of eighteen, the reference in subsection (2) to “harm” is to be read as a reference to ill-treatment or the impairment of physical or mental health.

(4)Where a person who is named in a section 91(14) order applies for leave to make an application of a specified kind, the court must, in determining whether to grant leave, consider whether there has been a material change of circumstances since the order was made.

(a)on an application made—

(i)by the relevant individual;

(ii)by or on behalf of the child concerned;
