(b)putting him under the supervision of a designated authority.
(2) A court may only make a care or a supervision order if it is satisfied—
(a)that the child concerned is suffering, or is likely to suffer, significant harm; and
(b)that the harm, or likelihood of harm, is attributable to—
(i)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 to him; or
(ii)the child's being beyond parental control.
(3) Where the question of whether harm suffered by a child is significant turns on the child's health or development, his health or development shall be compared with that which could reasonably be expected of a similar child.
(4) No care order or supervision order may be made with respect to a child who has reached the age of 17 (or 16, in the case of a child who is[F1 married or a civil partner)].
(5) An application under this Article may be made on its own or in any other family proceedings.

(b)on an application for a supervision order, make a care order.
(7) Where an authorised person proposes to make an application under this Article he shall—
(a)if it is reasonably practicable to do so; and
(b)before making the application,
consult the authority appearing to him to be the authority in whose area the child concerned is ordinarily resident.
(8) An application made by an authorised person shall not be entertained by the court if, at the time when it is made, the child concerned is—
(a)the subject of an earlier application for a care or a supervision order, which has not been disposed of; or
(b)subject to—
(i)a care or a supervision order; or
(ii)a probation orderF2. . . .
(9) The authority designated in a care order must be—
(a)the authority within whose area the child is ordinarily resident; or
(b)where the child does not reside in the area of an authority, the authority within whose area any circumstances arose in consequence of which the order is being made.
