90 Family group conference agreements—implementation After receiving a family group conference agreement, the director-general must implement the arrangements in the agreement in a way that complies with the family group conference standards (if any). Note 1 The Minister may make family group conference standards under s 887. Note 2 The parties to a family group conference agreement may agree that parental responsibility for a child or young person be transferred to, or shared with, someone else (other than the director-general (see s 76)). If the family group conference was arranged because the director-general believed the child or young person to be in need of care and protection, the Childrens Court may be able to register the family group conference agreement. A registered family group conference agreement has effect as if it were a care and protection order and may be enforced accordingly. Registration of family group conference agreements is dealt with in pt 12.2.
