(b) for an institution that is a religious organisation—a minister of religion, religious leader or member of the personnel of the organisation; and

(c) if the institution has delegated the care, supervision, control or authority over a child to another entity (the
"delegate" )—

(i) if the delegate is an individual—the delegate; and

(ii) a person who would be a person mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) if the delegate were the delegating institution; and

(d) a person prescribed by regulation.

(2) To remove any doubt, it is declared that a person is not a delegate mentioned in subsection (1) (c) only because a child protection order is made granting long-term guardianship of a child to the person.

(3) A person is not associated with an institution only because the person is associated with an entity that is funded or regulated by the institution.
