Sentencing Act 2020

105Youth offender panel: change of residenceE+W

(1)This section applies where the court which made a referral order is satisfied that—

(a)the offender has changed, or proposes to change, residence (to the “new residence”), and

(b)the youth offending team for the time being specified in the order (“the current team”) does not have the function of implementing referral orders in the area of the offender's new residence (“the new area”).

(2)The court may amend the order so that it specifies instead the youth offending team which has the function of implementing referral orders in the new area (“the new team”).

(3)Where the court does so, this Chapter (and, in particular, section 91(2) (duty to establish youth offender panel)) applies to the new team accordingly.

This is subject to subsection (4).

(4)If a youth offender contract has already taken effect under the referral order between the offender and the youth offender panel established by the current team—

(a)section 95 does not apply to the new team, and

(b)the contract has effect after the amendment as a youth offender contract between—

(i)the offender, and

(ii)the youth offender panel established by the new team.
