This is the original version (as it was originally enacted). This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format.
(1)For the purposes of this Chapter, “the responsible officer”, in relation to an offender to whom a community order relates, means the person who is for the time being responsible for discharging the functions conferred by this Code on the responsible officer in accordance with arrangements made by the Secretary of State.
(2)The responsible officer must be—
(a)an officer of a provider of probation services, or
(b)a person responsible for monitoring the offender in accordance with an electronic monitoring requirement imposed by the community order.
(1)This section applies where a community order is in force.
(2)The responsible officer must—
(a)make any arrangements that are necessary in connection with the requirements imposed by the order, and
(b)promote the offender’s compliance with those requirements.
(3)This is subject to paragraph 16(6) of Schedule 9 (in-patient treatment under mental health treatment requirement).
(4)The responsible officer must ensure, as far as practicable, that any instruction given by the responsible officer is such as to avoid—
(a)any conflict with the offender’s religious beliefs,
(b)any conflict with the requirements of any other court order to which the offender may be subject, and
(c)any interference with the times, if any, at which the offender normally—
(i)works, or
(ii)attends any educational establishment,
and satisfies any additional restrictions that the Secretary of State may specify in regulations.
(5)Regulations under subsection (4) are subject to the negative resolution procedure.
(1)This section applies where a community order is in force.
(2)The offender must keep in touch with the responsible officer in accordance with any instructions the responsible officer may give the offender from time to time.
(3)This obligation is enforceable as if it were a community order requirement of the community order.
(1)This section applies where a community order—
(a)is in force, and
(b)does not include a residence requirement imposed under paragraph 13 of Schedule 9.
(2)The offender must not change residence except with permission given in accordance with this section by—
(a)the responsible officer, or
(b)a court.
(3)This obligation has effect as if it were a community order requirement of the community order.
(4)The appropriate court may, on an application made by the offender, give permission in a case in which the responsible officer has refused.
For this purpose, “appropriate court” has the same meaning as in Schedule 10 (see paragraph 1 of that Schedule).
(5)A court may also give permission in any proceedings before it under Schedule 10 (breach or amendment of order etc).
(6)The grounds on which the responsible officer or court may refuse an application for permission are that, in the opinion of the officer or court, the change in residence—
(a)is likely to prevent the offender complying with a requirement imposed by the community order, or
(b)would hinder the offender’s rehabilitation.
(7)The responsible officer must refuse an application for permission if—
(a)the offender’s present residence is in England or Wales, and
(b)the offender’s proposed residence is outside England and Wales.
(8)For cases in which a community order has to be amended because of permission given under this section, see paragraph 16 of Schedule 10 (amendment to reflect change in local justice area).
