Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If a report is about you, you can give evidence about anything in the report that you know about. This is because you have been told about the report, either by being given a copy of it under section 191 or by being told what it says. You can do this for reports made under section 178, section 181, section 186, or section 187.
