(a) treatment by or under the direction of a fully registered medical practitioner specified in the order;

12C (1) Subject to subsection (3) below, a supervision order to which section 12A(1) of this Act applies may require a supervised person, if he is of compulsory school age, to comply, for as long as he is of that age and the order remains in force, with such arrangements for his education as may from time to time be made by his parent, being arrangements for the time being approved by the local education authority.

(2) The court shall not include such a requirement in a supervision order unless it has consulted the local education authority with regard to its proposal to include the requirement and is satisfied that in the view of the local education authority arrangements exist for the child or young person to whom the supervision order will relate to receive efficient full-time education suitable to his age, ability and aptitude and to any special educational need he may have.

Duty of court to state in certain cases that requirement in place of custodial sentence. E+W

12D (1) Where—

(a) in pursuance of section 12A(3)(a) of this Act a court includes a requirement in a supervision order directing the supervised person to participate in specified activities; and

(b) it would have imposed a custodial sentence if it had not made a supervision order including such a requirement,

it shall state in open court—

(i) that it is making the order instead of a custodial sentence;

(ii) that it is satisfied that—

(a) the offender has a history of failure to respond to non-custodial penalties and is unable or unwilling to respond to any non-custodial penalty other than a supervision order including such a requirement; or

(b) only a supervision order including such a requirement or a custodial sentence would be adequate to protect the public from serious harm from him; or

(c) the offence for which he has been convicted or found guilty was so serious that a non-custodial sentence for it other than a supervision order including such a requirement could not be justified; and

(iii) why it is so satisfied.

(2) Where the Crown Court makes such a statement, it shall certify in the supervision order that it has made such a statement.

(3) Where a magistrates’ court makes such a statement, it shall certify in the supervision order that it has made such a statement and shall cause the statement to be entered in the register.
