Illustration for Criminal Investigations (Bodily Samples) Act 1995

If you are a young person with a compulsion order, a constable might suggest changing when or where you give a bodily sample. The constable must tell your parent or the person taking care of you about the suggested change. This happens if the change is about when or where you give the sample, or both.
