When must a mandatory disclosure statement be provided to the parent or legal guardian?

When the child lives with both parents
When the parent or legal guardian is consenting to mental health services for the child
When the child has more than one guardian
When the guardian is not a legal guardian

The correct answer is: When the child lives with both parents

A mandatory disclosure statement must be provided to the parent or legal guardian when the child lives with both parents, as stated in option A. This is because both parents have a legal right to know about any mental health services being provided to their child. Options B and C are incorrect because a mandatory disclosure statement must be provided regardless of whether the parent or legal guardian is consenting to mental health services or if the child has more than one guardian. Option D is incorrect because the term "legal guardian" refers to any individual who has been granted legal rights and responsibilities for the child, regardless of their relationship status. Therefore, a mandatory disclosure statement must also be given to a legal guardian who is not the child's biological parent.
