114 Court to consider certain matters
In deciding the application, the Court must consider:
(a) whether the proposed assessment is necessary; and
(b) whether the assessment is likely to provide information
needed to determine whether the child is in need of protection;
and
(c) whether any distress caused by the assessment to the child
will be outweighed by the value of the information to be
obtained from the assessment; and
(d) any distress caused to the child by a previous assessment of
the same or a similar nature; and
