investigation

Explanation:
I think all they are saying is that a counsel, advisory body, is doing an investigation. If that does not exist as such in the social services system, then maybe it's just an investigation by social services. Without more context, I can't make any more of it.

Asker: Thanks EHL - you were right as well... as Chris pointed out the Raad is the Raad voor de Kinderbescherming. Went for Olly's answer in the end but your input was also very gratefully received
