Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

If you have a protective supervision order, the court can cancel it. This can happen if you have not committed any serious sexual or violent offences and have not broken any rules in the order for 5 years. You can ask the court to review the order, or the chief executive can ask for a review to cancel the order. If the court cancels the order, the chief executive must tell you, your probation officer, the Police, and any victims that the order has been cancelled. The chief executive might not tell everyone all the details if it would interfere with someone else's privacy. The chief executive will decide what information to share and what to keep private.
