Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

When a court reviews a protective supervision order, you need to know that the chief executive must give the court current reports about the person the order is about. The court then looks at whether the rules in the order are still suitable for the person. The court also thinks about whether the order should be cancelled, but only if it has the power to do this under section 102.

The court's job is to make sure the order is still the right thing for the person. You should know that the court makes this decision based on the reports it gets and the rules in the order. The court can cancel the order if it has the power to do so and if it thinks this is the right thing to do.
