Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you are part of an enforcement agency, you must follow the decisions made by a family group conference. This is if the conference was held under section 260 and everyone agreed to the decision under section 263. You must take action to make the decision happen, unless you think it is impracticable, unreasonable, or goes against the principles in sections 5 and 208.
