The main idea here is recognizing legislation that strengthens protection for children in the context of family violence through information sharing and concrete safety measures for courts to act on. This act is designed to ensure that information about whether violence exists or is at risk is shared with the right authorities, so courts can respond promptly and put safety provisions in place to protect children. It places the child’s safety at the center of decisions about family arrangements, by enabling risk information to inform protective actions and court decisions.

The other options don’t fit this focus. Introducing de facto financial rights concerns financial relationships and support, not protection from harm or information sharing about violence. Regulating intercountry adoption deals with international adoption procedures, not how courts respond to family violence or safeguard children. Repealing the Adoption Act 1965 would remove a law but doesn’t describe a mechanism to protect children or improve court responses to violence.
