Youth Justice Conferencing factsheet for parents, guardians and carers

Parents, guardians and carers play a key role in Youth Justice Conferences by supporting the young offender and encouraging them to take responsibility for their behaviour. At the conference, parents, guardians and carers can help decide what is in the outcome plan and request a respected person from their community to attend the conference if they believe it will lead to a better outcome.

This factsheet provides information about:

• what a Youth Justice conference is
• who organises the conference
• your rights as a parent, guardian or carer in the conferencing process.
