    A prosecutor shall, before starting or continuing judicial proceedings against a young person alleged to have committed an offence, consider whether it would be sufficient, having regard to the principles set out in sections 4 and 4.1, to warn the young person, administer a caution, if a program has been established under section 8, or, with the consent of the young person, refer the young person to a program or agency in the community that may assist the young person to address their offending behaviour.
