23K.—Where the F124[Child and Family Agency] is taking all steps reasonably open to it to make a determination under section 23F in respect of a child and has not yet made that determination but it is satisfied that there is reasonable cause to believe that—

(a) the child has attained the age of 11 years,

(b) the behaviour of the child poses a real and substantial risk of harm to his or her life, health, safety, development or welfare of that child,

(c) the risk of harm referred to in paragraph (b) is immediate,

(d) having regard to that behaviour and risk of harm and having assessed the care requirements of that child—

(i) the provision, or the continuation of the provision, by the F124[Child and Family Agency] to the child of care other than special care, and

(ii) treatment and mental health services under, and within the meaning of, the Mental Health Act 2001,

will not adequately address that behaviour and risk of harm and those care requirements,

(e) having regard to paragraph (d), the child requires special care to adequately address—

(i) that behaviour and risk of harm, and

(ii) those care requirements,

which it cannot provide to the child unless the High Court makes an interim special care order in respect of that child,

(f) for the purposes of protecting the life, health, safety, development or welfare of the child, the child requires special care, and

(g) having regard to paragraph (c), the child requires special care immediately and before it has made a determination under section 23F,

the F124[Child and Family Agency] shall, as soon as possible, apply to the High Court for an interim special care order.]
