In addition to all other duties and responsibilities necessary to the representation of a child who is the subject of a proceeding under this article, a law guardian shall upon receipt of a report from a child protective agency pursuant to sections ten hundred thirty-nine, ten hundred thirty-nine-a, ten hundred fifty-two-a, ten hundred fifty-three, ten hundred fifty-four, ten hundred fifty-five, ten hundred fifty-seven and ten hundred fifty-eight, review the information contained therein and make a determination as to whether there is reasonable cause to suspect that the child is at risk of further abuse or neglect or that there has been a substantive violation of a court order. Where the law guardian makes such a determination, the law guardian shall apply to the court for appropriate relief pursuant to section ten hundred sixty-one. Nothing contained in this section shall relieve a child protective agency or social services official of its duties pursuant to this act or the social services law.
