Provisions relating to procedure in Youth Court - Reports

335: Report to be accompanied by plan

You could also call this:

"A report must include a plan to help keep a young person safe and supported."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

When you are making a report as required under section 334, you need to include a plan. This plan has details about how an order will be carried out. The plan must include information about the care and control of the young person while they are in custody or under supervision. It must also include details about any programme that will be provided to the young person. You prepare this plan in different ways depending on who will be supervising the young person. If the young person will be under the supervision of someone other than the chief executive, that person or organisation prepares the plan. In any other case, the chief executive prepares the plan. The plan is an important part of the report and must be prepared according to the rules.
