The restorative justice process

31 The restorative justice process

(1) This part applies if a police officer or a court (each a
"referring authority" ) refers an offence to the chief executive for a restorative justice process.
(2) The restorative justice process is to be a conference.
(3) However, the restorative justice process is to be an alternative diversion program if—
(a) the referral is made by a police officer under section 22 or made by a court under section 24A or 164 ; and
(b) a conference can not be convened for any reason other than—
(i) the chief executive being unable to contact the child after reasonable inquiries; or
(ii) the child being unwilling to participate in the conference.
