What are the grounds for making a Supervision Order?
The grounds for the making of a Supervision Order are the same as those for the making of a Care Order namely; the Court may only make a Supervision Order if it is satisfied that the child concerned is suffering or is likely to suffer significant harm and that the harm or likelihood of harm is attributable to:
- The care given to the child or likely to be given to him if the Order were not made not being what it would be reasonable to expect a parent to give him, or
- The child being beyond parental control.
The above grounds are sometimes described as being ‘threshold criteria’.
