Oranga Tamariki Act 1989, s 36
If the Family Group Conference has agreed on a plan, the plan will normally include a date for the conference to get back together to review the progress that’s been made under the plan. This will usually be for three, six or nine months later. (It has to be within six months if the child is under seven, and within 12 months in other cases.)
When the Family Group Conference gets back together (“reconvenes”) for these reviews, they’re called “review meetings”.
Oranga Tamariki might sometimes call the Family Group Conference back together before the review date if the situation has changed in some way so that the current plan isn’t suitable anymore.
If the review meeting finds there hasn’t been any progress under the plan, Oranga Tamariki may decide to take the case to the Family Court by applying for care or Protection Orders.
