If you are a young person and you get arrested for something you did, you will go to the Youth Court. The Youth Court is a special court that deals with young people who get into trouble. If you say you did not do what you are accused of, the court will follow some rules that are explained in sections 273 to 276 to figure out what to do next.

If you do not deny the charge, the court will not ask you to plead guilty or not guilty. Instead, the court will tell a youth justice co-ordinator to set up a meeting with your family and other people to talk about what happened. The court will then wait until this meeting has happened before deciding what to do next.

The meeting is called a family group conference, and it is a chance for you, your family, and other people to talk about what you did and how you can make things right. The court wants to make sure you get the help and support you need to stay out of trouble in the future.
