CHILD PROTECTION ACT 1999 - SECT 51YA

51YA Evidence relating to family group meetings

(1) Evidence of anything said or done at a family group meeting is inadmissible in a criminal proceeding before a court other than—

(a) with the consent of all persons participating in the family group meeting; or

(b) in a proceeding for an offence committed during the family group meeting.

(2) In a child protection proceeding, a person must not be taken to have admitted anything alleged about the person only because the person attended or participated in a family group meeting.

(3) However, if a person attends or participates in a family group meeting, subsection (2) does not affect the admissibility, in a child protection proceeding, of evidence of anything the person says or does at the meeting.
