## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Child Protection & Care Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/child-protection-and-care-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the sealed orders, the chronology since they were made and the client's completed-services records, draft the application or review request and the change-of-circumstances schedule under the lawyer's direction, and index the supporting material. The tool writes nothing into the supporting affidavit. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the leave or review threshold is met on these facts and which forum the complaint belongs in, and checks every asserted change against its evidence. |
| Written for / versions | 1 jurisdiction versions below |

## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line, paragraph or clause; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the sealed orders, the chronology since they were made and the client's completed-services records, draft the application or review request and the change-of-circumstances schedule under the lawyer's direction, and index the supporting material. The tool writes nothing into the supporting affidavit.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the leave or review threshold is met on these facts and which forum the complaint belongs in, and checks every asserted change against its evidence.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the operative sealed orders and their expiry date, and identify precisely what is being varied, rescinded or reviewed.
2. Check each asserted change of circumstances against a document or completion certificate, and remove any change the client cannot prove.
3. Confirm whether leave is required in this jurisdiction and what the leave threshold is, before the substantive grounds are drafted.
4. Decide whether the complaint is about the orders or about the case plan, and confirm the forum and the time limit that applies to each.
5. Confirm nothing from the supporting affidavit was generated, and that each fact in the change schedule appears in the affidavit with the same source.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
