Will my child have a criminal record if I were to proceed with a Family Guidance Order (FGO) application for my child or agree to a warrant of arrest?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your child is not present in court when summoned, a warrant of arrest may be issued against your child. A child/young person for whom a Family Guidance Order (FGO) application is made has not committed an offence and hence, has no criminal record.
