48M Explanation of youth conduct order

(1) If the Children’s Court makes a youth conduct order with respect to a child, the Court must ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to explain to the child (in language that the child can readily understand):

(a) the child’s obligations under the order, and

(b) the consequences that may follow if the child fails to comply with those obligations.

(2) A youth conduct order is not invalidated by a failure to comply with this section.

(3) Nothing in this section limits the operation of section 12 (Proceedings to be explained to children).
