56A: Application of section 56 during epidemic

You could also call this:

"What happens to your parole conditions during an epidemic"

Illustration for Parole Act 2002

If there is an epidemic management notice in place, you need to know what happens with your release conditions. When a probation officer applies to the Parole Board under section 56(2) to change one of your conditions, they can make the change themselves. This change stays in place until the Parole Board makes a decision about the application.
