308C: Progress reports

You could also call this:

"Regular updates on how well you're doing with your court order"

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If the court gives a direction about you under section 308A, the chief executive must write a report about how well you are following the conditions of your order. The chief executive must give this report to the court before your progress is checked for the first time. This report must say how well you are following the conditions and how well you are doing in achieving the goals of your plan made under section 335.

The report can also include any other information the chief executive thinks is important for the court to know when checking how well you are following the conditions. The chief executive might have to write more reports about your progress every few months if the court asks them to. These reports must be given to the court at least every three months if the court says so.
