88. The contents of a psychosocial report referred to in section 86 and, if applicable, of any assessment or expert opinion referred to in section 87 attached to it must be sent to the parties, who may dispute the data or the conclusions contained in such report, assessment or expert opinion.
However, where the director is of the opinion that the contents should not be communicated to the child, the tribunal may, by exception, prohibit the transmission of it.
The tribunal must ensure that the advocate representing the child is given the opportunity to examine the psychosocial report and, if applicable, any attached assessment or expert opinion and to ultimately dispute them.
