A child to whom this section applies may be removed to and detained for a limited period in a place of safety outside the United Kingdom in a case where an officer having power under this section to order the child's removal to and detention in such a place thinks fit to do so on being satisfied, on one or more of the grounds specified in subsection (4) below, that the child is in need of care or control.

eight days in a case where the order is made by the commanding officer of the person to whose family the child belongs or with whose family the child resides; and
twenty days in a case where the order is made by an officer superior in command to the commanding officer of either of those persons ;
Where an order has been made under this section for the detention of a child for a period of eight days or less the child may be further detained for a period not exceeding twenty days in the same or another place of safety on the making of a further order under this section by any superior officer in whom the power to make such an order in relation to the child is vested.
No order shall be made under this section in relation to a child without affording the child's parent or guardian and, in a case where the child resides for the time being with the family of another person, that person an opportunity to make representations to the officer by whom the case is being considered except where it appears to that officer that it would be undesirable to do so in the interests of the child or that it will be impracticable, or will cause unnecessary delay, to communicate with the parent or guardian or with that other person.
