24.A children’s hearing may make a CSO in relation to a child if it is satisfied that it is necessary to do so for the protection, guidance, treatment or control of the child.(15) Section 83 of the 2011 Act explains what a CSO is. It is an order that may include any of the measures listed in section 83(2). One of those measures is a requirement that the child reside at a specified place.(16) If a CSO includes that type of requirement, it may also include a direction authorising the person in charge of the place where the child is to reside to restrict the child’s liberty. That person may do so to the extent considered appropriate when taking account of the terms of the CSO.
See section 91(3)(a) of the 2011 Act.
See section 83(2)(a). “
