the local authority must supply the area authority with all such information as is necessary to enable the area authority to carry out those functions on behalf of the local authority;
b

c
the local authority and the area authority must consult each other from time to time as necessary, and as soon as reasonably practicable after each such review of the case of the child, with regard to what action is required in relation to him or her.
