E1188 Probation orders relating to persons residing in England.
1
Where the court by which a probation order is made under section 183 of this Act F4(not being a probation order including a requirement F5which, while corresponding to a requirement mentioned in paragraph 2 or 3 of Schedule 1A to the M2Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973, would if included in a probation order made under that Act fail to accord with a restriction as to days of presentation, participation or attendance mentioned in paragraph 2(4)(a) or (6)(a), or as the case may be 3(3)(a), of that Schedule ) is satisfied that the offender has attained the age of F616years and resides or will reside in England, subsection (2) of the said section shall not apply to the order, but the order shall contain a requirement that he be under the supervision of a probation officer appointed for or assigned to the petty sessions area in which the offender resides or will reside; F7. . . that area shall be named in the order F8; and where the order includes a requirement that the probationer perform unpaid work for a number of hours, the number specified shall not exceed one hundred..
2
Where a probation order has been made under section 183 of this Act and the court in Scotland by which the order was made or the appropriate court is satisfied
F9a
that the probationer has attained the age of 16 years;
b
that he proposes to reside, or is residing, in England; and
c
that suitable arrangements for his supervision can be made by the probation committee for the area which contains the petty sessions area in which he resides or will reside
, the power of that court to amend the order under Schedule 5 to this Act shall include power to insert the provisions required by subsection (1) of this section F10or to vary any requirement for performance of unpaid work so that such hours as remain to be worked do not exceed one hundred; and the court may so amend the order without summoning the probationer and without his consent.
3
A probation order made or amended by virtue of this section may, notwithstanding section 184(8) of this Act, include a requirement that the probationer shall submit to treatment for his mental condition and—
a
subsections (1), (3) and (7) of the said section 184 and F11paragraph 5(3) of Schedule 1A to the M2Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 (all of which regulate the making of probation orders which include any such requirement) shall apply to the making of an order which includes any such requirement by virtue of this subsection as they apply to the making of an order which includes any such requirement by virtue of section 184 of this Act and F11paragraph 5 of Schedule 1A to the said Act of 1973 respectively; and
b
F12sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) of paragraph 5 of Schedule 1A to the said Act of 1973 (functions of supervising officer and medical practitioner where such a requirement has been imposed) shall apply in relation to a probationer who is undergoing treatment in England in pursuance of a requirement imposed by virtue of this subsection as they apply in relation to a probationer undergoing such treatment in pursuance of a requirement imposed by virtue of that section.
4
Sections 185(1) and 186(1) of this Act shall not apply to any order made or amended under this section; but subject as hereinafter provided the provisions of
F13Schedule 2 to the Criminal Justice Act 1991 shall apply to the order—
a
except in the case mentioned in paragraph (b) below, as if that order were a probation order made under section 2 of the Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973; and
b
in the case of an order which contains a requirement such as is mentioned in subsection (5A) of section 183 or 384 of this Act, as if it were a combination order made under section 11 of the said Act of 1991:
Provided that Part III of that Schedule shall not so apply; and sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) of paragraph 3 of that Schedule shall so apply as if for the first reference in the said sub-paragraph (3) to the Crown Court there were substituted a reference to a court in Scotland and for the other references in those sub-paragraphs to the Crown Court there were substituted references to the court in Scotland.
5
If it appears on information to a justice acting for the petty sessions area F14named in a probation order made or amended under this section that the person to whom the order relates has been convicted by a court in any part of Great Britain of an offence committed during the period specified in the order, he may issue a summons requiring that person to appear, at the place and time specified therein, before the court in Scotland by which the probation order was made or, if the information is in writing and on oath, may issue a warrant for his arrest, directing that person to be brought before the last-mentioned court.
6
If a warrant for the arrest of a probationer issued under section 187 of this Act by a court is executed in England, and the probationer cannot forthwith be brought before that court, the warrant shall have effect as if it directed him to be brought before a magistrates’ court for the place where he is arrested; and the magistrates’ court shall commit him to custody or release him on bail (with or without sureties) until he can be brought or appear before the court in Scotland.
7
The court by which a probation order is made or amended in accordance with the provisions of this section shall send three copies of the order to the clerk to the justices for the petty sessions area named therein, together with such documents and information relating to the case as it considers likely to be of assistance to the court acting for that petty sessions area.
8
Where a probation order which is amended under subsection (2) of this section is an order to which the provisions of this Act apply by virtue of section 10 of the M2Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 (which relates to probation orders under that Act relating to persons residing in Scotland) then, notwithstanding anything in that section or this section, the order shall, as from the date of the amendment, have effect in all respects as if it were an order made under section 2 of that Act in the case of a person residing in England.

212AF77Supervised release orders.
1
Where a person is convicted of an offence and is sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than twelve months but less than four years, the court on passing sentence may, if it considers that it is necessary to do so to protect the public from serious harm from the offender on his release, make such order as is mentioned in subsection (2) below.
F151A
A court shall, before making an order under subsection (1) above, consider a report by a relevant officer of a local authority about the offender and his circumstances and, if the court thinks it necessary, hear that officer.
2
The order referred to in subsection (1) above (to be known as a “supervised release order”) is that the person, during a relevant period—
a
be under the supervision either of a relevant officer of a local authority or of a probation officer appointed for or assigned to a petty sessions area (such local authority or the justices for such area to be designated under section 14(4) or 15(1) of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993);
F16b
comply with—
i
such requirements as may be imposed by the court in the order; and
ii
such requirements as that officer may reasonably specify, F17; and
c
comply with the standard requirements imposed by virtue of subsection (3)(a)(i) below
for the purpose of securing the good conduct of the person or preventing, or lessening the possibility of, his committing a further offence (whether or not an offence of the kind for which he was sentenced).
3
A supervised release order—
F18a
shall—
i
without prejudice to subsection (2)(b) above, contain such requirements (in this section referred to as the “standard requirements”); and
ii
be as nearly as possible in such form,
as may be prescribed by Act of Adjournal;
b
for the purposes of any appeal or review constitutes part of the sentence of the person in respect of whom the order is made; and
c
shall have no effect during any period in which the person is subject to a licence under Part I of the said Act of 1993.
4
Before making a supervised release order as respects a person the court shall explain to him, in as straightforward a way as is practicable, the effect of the order and the possible consequences for him of any breach of it.
5
The clerk of the court by which a supervised release order is made in respect of a person shall—
a
forthwith send a copy of the order to the person and to the Secretary of State; and
b
within seven days after the date on which the order is made, send to the Secretary of State such documents and information relating to the case and to the person as are likely to be of assistance to a supervising officer.
6
In this section—
“relevant officer” has the same meaning as in Part I of the Prisoners and Criminal Proceedings (Scotland) Act 1993;“relevant period” means such period as may be specified in the supervised release order, being a period—- a
not exceeding twelve months after the date of the person’s release; and - b
no part of which is later than the date by which the entire term of imprisonment specified in his sentence has elapsed; and
- a
“supervising officer” means, where an authority has or justices have been designated as is mentioned in subsection (2)(a) above for the purposes of the order, any relevant officer or, as the case may be, probation officer who is for the time being supervising for those purposes the person released.
F197
The foregoing provisions of this section apply to a person sentenced under section 207 or 415 of this Act as the provisions apply to a person sentenced to a period of imprisonment.

389 Probation orders relating to persons residing in England.
1
Where the court by which a probation order is made under section 384 of this Act F24(not being a probation order including a requirement F25which, while corresponding to a requirement mentioned in paragraph 2 or 3 of Schedule 1A to the Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973, would if included in a probation order made under that Act fail to accord with a restriction as to days of presentation, participation or attendance mentioned in paragraph 2(4)(a) or (6)(a), or as the case may be 3(3)(a), of that Schedule) is satisfied that the offender has attained the age of F2616 years and resides or will reside in England, subsection (2) of the said section shall not apply to the order, but the order shall contain a requirement that he be under the supervision of a probation officer appointed for or assigned to the petty sessions area in which the offender resides or will reside; F27. that area shall be named in the order F28; and where the order includes a requirement that the probationer perform unpaid work for a number of hours, the number specified shall not exceed one hundred..
2
Where a probation order has been made under section 384 of this Act and the court in Scotland by which the order was made or the appropriate court is satisfied
F29a
that the probationer has attained the age of 16 years;
b
that he proposes to reside, or is residing, in England; and
c
that suitable arrangements for his supervision can be made by the probation committee for the area which contains the petty sessions area in which he resides or will reside
, the power of that court to amend the order under Schedule 5 to this Act shall include power to insert the provisions required by subsection (1) of this section F30or to vary any requirement for performance of unpaid work so that such hours as remain to be worked do not exceed one hundred; and the court may so amend the order without summoning the probationer and without his consent.
3
A probation order made or amended by virtue of this section may, notwithstanding section 385(8) of this Act, include a requirement that the probationer shall submit to treatment for his mental condition, and—
a
subsections (1), (3) and (7) of the said section 385 and F31paragraph 5(3) of Schedule 1A to the M3Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 (all of which regulate the making of probation orders which include any such requirement) shall apply to the making of an order which includes any such requirement by virtue of this subsection as they apply to the making of an order which includes any such requirement by virtue of section 385 of this Act and F31paragraph 5 of Schedule 1A to the said Act of 1973 respectively; and
b
F32sub-paragraphs (5) to (7) of paragraph 5 of Schedule 1A to the said Act of 1973 (functions of supervising officer and medical practitioner where such a requirement has been imposed) shall apply in relation to a probationer who is undergoing treatment in England in pursuance of a requirement imposed by virtue of this subsection as they apply in relation to a probationer undergoing such treatment in pursuance of a requirement imposed by virtue of that section.
4
Sections 386(1) and 387(1) of this Act shall not apply to any order made or amended under this section; but subject as hereinafter provided the provisions of F33Schedule 2 to the Criminal Justice Act 1991 shall apply to the order—
a
except in the case mentioned in paragraph (b) below, as if that order were a probation order made under section 2 of the Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973; and
b
in the case of an order which contains a requirement such as is mentioned in subsection (5A) of section 183 or 384 of this Act, as if it were a combination order made under section 11 of the said Act of 1991:
Provided that Part III of that Schedule shall not so apply; and sub-paragraphs (3) and (4) of paragraph 3 of that Schedule shall so apply as if for the first reference in the said sub-paragraph (3) to the Crown Court there were substituted a reference to a court in Scotland and for the other references in those sub-paragraphs to the Crown Court there were substituted references to the court in Scotland.
5
If it appears on information to a justice acting for the petty sessions area F34named in a probation order made or amended under this section that the person to whom the order relates has been convicted by a court in any part of Great Britain of an offence committed during the period specified in the order, he may issue a summons requiring that person to appear, at the place and time specified therein, before the court in Scotland by which the probation order was made or, if the information is in writing and on oath, may issue a warrant for his arrest, directing that person to be brought before the last-mentioned court.
6
If a warrant for the arrest of a probationer issued under section 388 of this Act by a court is executed in England, and the probationer cannot forthwith be brought before that court, the warrant shall have effect as if it directed him to be brought before a magistrates’ court for the place where he is arrested; and the magistrates’ court shall commit him to custody or release him on bail (with or without sureties) until he can be brought or appear before the court in Scotland.
7
The court by which a probation order is made or amended in accordance with the provisions of this section shall send three copies of the order to the clerk to the justices for the petty sessions area named therein, together with such documents and information relating to the case as it considers likely to be of assistance to the court acting for that petty sessions area.
8
Where a probation order which is amended under subsection (2) of this section is an order to which the provisions of this Act apply by virtue of section 10 of the M3Powers of Criminal Courts Act 1973 (which relates to probation orders under that Act relating to persons residing in Scotland) then, notwithstanding anything in that section or this section, the order shall, as from the date of the amendment, have effect in all respects as if it were an order made under section 2 of that Act in the case of a person residing in England.

Where a child appears before the sheriff in summary proceedings and pleads guilty to, or is found guilty of, an offence to which this section applies, the sheriff may order that he be detained in residential care by the appropriate local authority F36for such period not exceeding one year as may be specified in the order. . .in such place (in any part of the United Kingdom) as the local authority may, from time to time, consider appropriate F37. . ..
2
This section applies to any offence in respect of which it is competent to impose imprisonment on a person of the age of 21 years or more.
3
In this section—
“the appropriate local authority” means—
a
where the child usually resides in Scotland, the regional or islands council for the area in which he usually resides;
b
in any other case, the regional or islands council for the area in which the offence was committed;
“care”shall be construed in accordance with section 32(3) of the 1968 Act, and the provisions of that Act specified in section 44(5) of that Act shall apply in respect of a child who is detained in residential care in pursuance of this section as they apply in respect of a child who is subject to a supervision requirement;“the 1968 Act” means theM4Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968.
4
Where a child in respect of whom an order is made under this section is also subject to a supervision requirement within the meaning of the 1968 Act, subject to subsection (6) below, the supervision requirement shall be of no effect during any period for which he is required to be detained under the order.
5
The Secretary of State may, by regulations made by statutory instrument subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament, make such provision as he considers necessary as regards the detention in secure accommodation (within the meaning of the 1968 Act) of children in respect of whom orders have been made under this section.
F386
Where a child is detained in residential care in pursuance of an order under—
a
subsection (1) above, he shall be released from such detention not later than the date by which half the period specified in the order has (following commencement of the detention) elapsed but, without prejudice to subsection (6A) below, until the entire such period has so elapsed may be required by the local authority to submit to supervision in accordance with such conditions as they consider appropriate;
b
subsection (1) above or (6B) below, the local authority may at any time review his case and may, in consequence of such review and after having regard to the best interests of the child and the need to protect members of the public, release the child—
i
for such period and on such conditions as the local authority consider appropriate; or
ii
unconditionally.
6A
Where a child released under paragraph (a) or (b)(ii) of subsection (6) above is subject to a supervision requirement within the meaning of the 1968 Act, the effect of that requirement shall commence, or as the case may be resume, upon such release.
6B
If, while released under paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (6) above (and before the date on which the entire period mentioned in the said paragraph (a) has, following commencement of the detention, elapsed), a child commits an offence to which this section applies and (whether before or after that date) pleads guilty to or is found guilty of it a court may, instead of or in addition to making any other order in respect of that plea or finding, order that he be returned to the residential care of the authority which released him and that his detention in their care shall continue for the whole or any part of the period which—
a
begins with the date of the order for his return; and
b
is equal in length to the period between the date on which the new offence was committed and the date on which that entire period elapses.
6C
An order under subsection (6B) above for return to residential care—
a
shall be taken to be an order for detention in residential care for the purposes of this Act and of any appeal; and
b
shall, as the court making that order may direct, either be for a period of residential care before and to be followed by, or to be concurrent with, any period of residential care to be imposed in respect of the new offence (being in either case disregarded in determining the appropriate length of the period so imposed).
7
Where a local authority consider it appropriate that a child in respect of whom an order has been made under subsection (1) F39(or (6B))above should be detained in a place in any part of the United Kingdom outside Scotland, the order shall be a like authority as in Scotland to the person in charge of the place to restrict the child’s liberty to such an extent as that person may consider appropriate having regard to the terms of the order.
