Youth justice, Interventions, Policy
Youth justice family group conference – supporting, monitoring and reviewing the plan
We support tamariki, rangatahi, whānau or family to implement their youth justice family group conference plan. We also monitor progress, review the plan as agreed and determine when it is completed.
Care
Using de-escalation to respond to risk for tamariki, rangatahi, self and others
Sometimes the emotional distress or actions of te tamaiti or rangatahi can put them or others at risk. It is important that we respond in ways that will de-escalate risk and support the safety and oranga of those involved.
