After being arrested for a minor offence which can be heard by an Iwi Community Panel, first time offenders are offered the choice by the Police of attending a panel hearing or having the matter dealt with by the Police and Court

What we offer:

• A Police-referred alternative to the traditional court process for first-time offenders charged with minor offences
• Participation is voluntary – individuals choose between a panel hearing or proceeding through the Police and Court system
• Offenders must accept responsibility for their actions to take part
• The panel is made up of community members who:
  • Work with the participant to understand the cause of the offence
  • Develop a restorative, solution-focused plan for accountability and repair
• Successful completion means the offence is not recorded on the participant’s criminal record
