If I don't have to go to court, do my parents have to know about any of this?

Yes. Your parents have to be informed if you enter into an extrajudicial sanctions program. Parents are usually consulted by the probation officer or the Youth Justice Committee and are encouraged to have some input into the activities that you will undertake as part of the program.
