Principal Reporter’s power to initiate review
133A
1
The Principal Reporter may initiate a review of a compulsory supervision order in relation to a child if—
a
following the children’s hearing which most recently made a decision in relation to the order (whether that was a decision to make, vary or continue it), the Principal Reporter becomes aware of relevant information,
b
as a consequence, the Principal Reporter considers that the compulsory supervision order ought to be terminated or varied, and
c
at the time the Principal Reporter reaches that view, the Principal Reporter is not otherwise required by section 137(2) to arrange a children’s hearing in relation to the child.

In subsection (1)(a), “relevant information” means information which was not available to the children’s hearing mentioned in that subsection, other than information by virtue of which the Principal Reporter has, since that hearing, prepared a further statement of grounds in relation to the child.
