How harm may be constituted (commenced 23 April 2007)
A new s 162(2) was inserted by Children, Youth and Families (Consequential and Other Amendments) Act 2006 (No. 48/2006) to clarify that:
‘For the purposes of subsections (1)(c) to (1)(f), the harm may be constituted by a single act, omission or circumstance or accumulate through a series of acts, omissions or circumstances.’
It may be expected that this provision clarified the circumstances in which harm can be caused, while not having a direct influence on the number of reports.
