 (2) The procedure or act must not be carried out in relation to the child under the order without the consent of:
 (a) a parent of the child; or
 (b) a guardian of the child; or
 (c) a person who, under a parenting order, has responsibility for the child's long‑term or day‑to‑day care, welfare and development.
