After The Meeting
If you have been referred by the Court, you must go back to Court for the Magistrate to agree the Plan. If agreed, it becomes known as a Youth Conference Order.
If you have been referred by the Public Prosecution Service, the Youth Conference Co-ordinator tells the Prosecutor what you have agreed.
After the Prosecutor or Court agree a Youth Conference Plan, you will have to start it within a couple of days.
If you are on an Action Plan agreed by the Prosecutor the Action Plan will be on your criminal record, but not as a conviction.
If your Action Plan is a Court Order, it will be a conviction on your criminal record.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
A Youth Conference Officer will keep in contact with you to see that you are doing what you agreed to in the Plan. He/she will also keep in contact with any other people or organisation who are assisting you to complete your Plan.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT DO YOUR YOUTH CONFERENCE PLAN?
The Youth Conference Plan is a serious legal agreement showing the victim and yourself that you really want to change, stop offending and make up for what you have done.
If you do not stick or commit fully to the agreement there are serious consequences for you.
