Youth offender contracts
I199Arranging progress meetings

This section applies where a youth offender contract has taken effect.
2
The specified youth offending team must arrange a meeting of the youth offender panel at any time during the compliance period (“a progress meeting”) if the panel requests it to do so under this section.
3
The panel may request the specified youth offending team to arrange a progress meeting if it appears to the panel to be expedient to review—
a
the offender's progress in implementing the programme of behaviour contained in the youth offender contract, or
b
any other matter arising in connection with the contract.
4
The panel must request the specified youth offending team to arrange a progress meeting if subsection (5) or (6) applies.
5
This subsection applies where the offender has notified the panel that the offender wishes—
a
the youth offender contract to be varied, or
b
to be referred back to court with a view to the referral order (or orders) being revoked on account of a significant change in the offender's circumstances (such as being taken to live abroad) which makes compliance with the contract impractical.
6
This subsection applies where it appears to the panel that the offender is in breach of the contract.
