Reporter’s regards around referral grounds
The Reporter should have regards to certain issues when making decisions around the grounds through which to refer a child
Duty bearers: SCRA
Part of: Recommendations
When the Reporter is making a decision around whether to refer a child on care and protection grounds rather than offence grounds, they must have regard to:
- the longer-term implications of the establishment of grounds for referral on offence grounds, and
- the - albeit limited - reportability or disclosure of this later in life.
