Prosecution of children and young persons
270Family group conference may reconvene to review its decisions, recommendations, and plans
Where any decision, recommendation, or plan is made or formulated by a family group conference pursuant to this Part, a youth justice co-ordinator may from time to time, at that co-ordinator's own motion or at the request of at least 2 members of that conference, reconvene that conference for the purpose of reviewing that decision, recommendation, or plan.
However, for the purpose of reviewing a decision, recommendation, or plan made or formulated by a family group conference under section 261, the youth justice co-ordinator who convened the conference—
- must reconvene the conference if required to do so by the chief executive, an iwi social service, a cultural social service, or the director of a child and family support service; and
- may reconvene the conference at any time, at the co-ordinator's own motion or at the request of at least 2 members of that conference.
The chief executive may require a youth justice co-ordinator to reconvene a family group conference under subsection (1A)(a) only if the chief executive is required under section 34 to give effect to the decision, recommendation, or plan to be reviewed.
An iwi social service, a cultural social service, or the director of a child and family support service may require a youth justice co-ordinator to reconvene a family group conference under subsection (1A)(a) only if the service is directly involved in the implementation of the decision, recommendation, or plan to be reviewed and has agreed to it under section 30.
Sections 250 to 269 shall apply, with all necessary modifications, with respect to every family group conference reconvened under this section.
