Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order identifies the accreditation body and electronic monitoring provider for the purpose of the programme requirement and electronic monitoring requirement respectively. Both requirements can be imposed as part of a “relevant order” as defined by section 196 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44), though the only such order for which provision is in force is an intermittent custody order. The relevant commencement order is the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Commencement No. 1) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/3282 (C.129)).
