C.C.S.C.A.S.V

Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

A

4) CYP should be kept in the COMMUNITY where practicable and safe for the public to do so

5) AGE is a mitigating factor when determining whether to impose sanctions and the nature of the sanctions

6) all SANCTIONS imposed should take the least restrictive form that is appropriate in the circumstances

7) VICTIMS views should be considered.
