Finalisation of early diversion outcome plan
131 Finalisation of early diversion outcome plan
The convenor of an early diversion group conference must determine when an early diversion outcome plan for a child is finalised.
Note
For matters referred to an early diversion group conference by the Children's Court, the Court is to determine whether the agreed actions in a finalised early diversion outcome plan are completed to the satisfaction of the Court—see section 166.
The convenor must endeavour to finalise an early diversion outcome plan that—
is acceptable to all of the attendees; and
accounts for the opinions of all of the attendees.
Despite subsection (2), the convenor may finalise an early diversion outcome plan without the agreement of all of the attendees of the early diversion group conference.
The convenor must not finalise an early diversion outcome plan for a child unless the child agrees to the matters in the early diversion outcome plan that require the child's participation.
The convenor must give notice of the finalisation of an early diversion outcome plan to—
the Children's Court, if the child was referred by the Court; or
the Chief Commissioner of Police.
The convenor must give notice to the Chief Commissioner of Police if, under section 166, the Children's Court discharges a child without any finding of guilt for an alleged offence.
