Whole provisions yet to be inserted into this Order (including any effects on those provisions):
33.—(1) An authority may only arrange for, or assist in arranging for, any child in its care to live outside Northern Ireland with the approval of the court.
(2) An authority may, with the approval of every person who has parental responsibility for the child, arrange for, or assist in arranging for, any other child looked after by the authority to live outside Northern Ireland.
(3) The court shall not give its approval under paragraph (1) unless it is satisfied that—

(c)the child has consented to living in that country; and
(d)every person who has parental responsibility for the child has consented to his living in that country.
(4) Where the court is satisfied that the child does not have sufficient understanding to give or withhold his consent, it may disregard paragraph (3)(c) and give its approval if the child is to live in the country concerned with a parent, guardian, or other suitable person.
(5) Where a person whose consent is required by paragraph (3)(d) fails to give his consent, the court may disregard that provision and give its approval if it is satisfied that that person—
