340Written statement of terms of certain orders to be given to young person
After making an order under paragraph (ja), (jb), (jc), (k), (l), (m), (n), or (o) of section 283 or under section 296G, the court must, before the young person leaves the court, cause a written statement to be supplied to the young person to whom the order relates, and to the barrister or solicitor or youth advocate representing the young person, specifying—
- the terms and conditions of the order (for example, in the case of an intensive supervision order under section 296G, any additional curfew and electronic monitoring conditions under section 296J):
- if the young person's compliance with any of the conditions of the order is to be monitored judicially in accordance with a direction under section 308A, the terms of that direction:
- in the case of an order under section 283(n) or (o), the reasons for the making of that order:
- in the case of an intensive supervision order under section 296G that is subject to additional curfew and electronic monitoring conditions under section 296J, the reasons for the imposition of that additional electronic monitoring condition:
- possible consequences of a failure to comply with the order:
- provisions for variation of the order:
- rights of appeal against the order or the finding on which the order was based.
However, subsection (1) applies to an order made under section 283(ja) only if that order is made in respect of, and requires attendance at a parenting education programme by, a young person who is, or is soon to be, a parent or guardian or other person having the care of a child.
The court may for the purposes of subsection (1) direct that the young person must remain at the court for a period, not exceeding 1 hour, that may be necessary to enable the statement to be supplied to the young person.
If it is not practicable to supply a written statement to the young person before the young person leaves the court, the statement must be supplied to the young person, and to the barrister or solicitor or youth advocate representing that young person, as soon as practicable.
