Child: anyone under the age of 18.

An individual aged 16 years and over who:
a) is unable to safeguard their own well-being, property, rights or other interests,
b) is at risk of harm, and because they are affected by disability, mental disorder, illness or physical or mental infirmity, is more vulnerable to being harmed than adults who are not so affected.
