Children and Adoption Bill [Lords]

An allegation of sexual abuse or violence towards a child is an alarm bell that should be investigated. Does the hon. Lady agree that new clause 20 is substantially less protective than clause 7, as drafted? For example, ““grounds to suspect”” becomes ““reasonable grounds to suspect”” and ““risk of harm”” becomes ““risk of significant harm””. Subsection (4) requires the courts to press on and assume that contact should go ahead, and subsection (6) states that the courts should not have regard to similar evidence from the past. Are those not terrible reductions in the protection available to children?
