135: Review of plan

You could also call this:

"Checking and updating your care plan to make sure it's working for you"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When a plan is made for you, it needs to be reviewed. The person in charge of reviewing the plan must look at it again by a certain date and tell the court what they find. They will also give the court a new plan for you. This new plan is like the first one, it has to follow the same rules as the original plan made under section 128. The person reviewing the plan will write a report that says what is working and what is not, and what needs to happen next to help you.
