In this Part “electronic monitoring requirement”, in relation to a relevant order, means a requirement for securing the electronic monitoring of the offender’s compliance with other requirements imposed by the order during a period specified in the order, or determined by the responsible officer in accordance with the relevant order.

Where—

a

it is proposed to include in a relevant order a requirement for securing electronic monitoring in accordance with this section, but

the requirement may not be included in the order without that person’s consent.

A relevant order which includes an electronic monitoring requirement must include provision for making a person responsible for the monitoring; and a person who is made so responsible must be of a description specified in an order made by the Secretary of State.

Where an electronic monitoring requirement is required to take effect during a period determined by the responsible officer in accordance with the relevant order, the responsible officer must, before the beginning of that period, notify—

a

the offender,

b

the person responsible for the monitoring, and

c

any person falling within subsection (2)(b),

of the time when the period is to begin.
