Requirements as to education

7(1)This paragraph applies to a supervision order unless the order requires the offender to comply with directions given by the supervisor under paragraph 2(1) above.

(2)Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, a supervision order to which this paragraph applies may require the offender, 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.

(3)The court shall not include such a requirement in a supervision order unless—

(a)it has consulted the local education authority with regard to its proposal to include the requirement; and

(b)it is satisfied that in the view of the local education authority arrangements exist for the offender to receive efficient full-time education suitable to his age, ability and aptitude and to any special educational need he may have.

(4)Expressions used in sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) above and in the [1996 c. 56.] Education Act 1996 have the same meaning in those sub-paragraphs as in that Act.

(5)The court may not include a requirement under sub-paragraph (2) above unless it has first consulted the supervisor as to the offender’s circumstances and, having regard to the circumstances of the case, it considers the requirement necessary for securing the good conduct of the offender or for preventing a repetition by him of the same offence or the commission of other offences.
