(1) If the Children's Court finds a child guilty of one or more offences, whether indictable or summary, the Court may make an order for the supervision and support of the child.
(2) The Children's Court must not make a youth supervision and support order unless the child consents to a youth supervision and support order being made.
(3) In determining whether to make a youth supervision and support order, the Children's Court must take into account the following—
(a) any youth justice planning meeting report in respect of the child for the offending;
(b) any pre-sentence report;
(c) any previous pre-sentence report and a supplementary pre-sentence report, if applicable.
See Division 3 of Part 9.2 in relation to pre-sentence reports, previous pre-sentence reports and supplementary pre-sentence reports.
