Checklist
- Section 33D imposes a duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent abuse of a child by a person associated with the institution while the child is under its care, supervision, control or authority.
- If associated abuse is proved, s 33E takes the institution to have breached that duty unless it proves it took all reasonable steps.
- The Part 2A table contains the duty, the reversed onus, and proper-defendant machinery. It does not contain a statutory vicarious-liability section. Common-law vicarious liability remains subject to Bird v DP.
- Do not treat a bill as an amendment of Part 2A. No bill page was opened for this task.
