evidence: In Northern Ireland the child protection register (CPR) is a confidential list of all children in the local area who have been identified as being at risk of significant harm. It allows authorised individuals to check if a child they are working with is known to be at risk. [...] A child may be taken into care voluntarily through Article 21 of The Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. If parents agree that their child should be taken into care then a court order is not required. [...] Under Article 22 of The Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995, a parent whose child has been taken into care voluntarily retains all their legal rights and can require the child's return at any stage.
