Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

Youth justice - Prosecution of children and young persons

271: Proceedings of family group conference privileged and not to be published

You could also call this:

"What happens in a family group conference is private and can't be shared with others."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When you are part of a family group conference, what you say is private. You can't tell others what happened in the conference. This is because sections 37 and 38, which are about keeping things private, also apply to family group conferences.

You can read more about this in section 37 and section 38. These rules help keep your conversations private. They apply to all family group conferences that happen under this part of the law.
