Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you are in the Youth Court and the court is thinking about making an order for you to attend a parenting education programme, a mentoring programme, or an alcohol or drug rehabilitation programme, there are some rules they have to follow. The court can only make this order if the person or organisation running the programme has agreed to provide it to you. This can be found under section 283(ja) for parenting education programmes, section 283(jb) for mentoring programmes, or section 283(jc) for alcohol or drug rehabilitation programmes.

The court can also add conditions to the order that you have to follow. The court gets to decide what these conditions are and they will be written into the order. You will have to do what the order says.
