119: Manager may make rules for residence

You could also call this:

"Rules for living in a residence are made to keep you safe"

Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

The chief executive can let the residence manager make rules for the residence. You need to follow these rules when you are living in the residence. The manager makes these rules to keep you and others safe.

The chief executive can put conditions on the rules the manager makes. This means the manager might not be able to make all the rules they want. The rules can say what items you are allowed to have, but only if it is safe.

The manager or the chief executive can change or get rid of these rules at any time. The rules must follow the law and any other regulations. If you want to know more about how these rules are published, you can look at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

The rules can also say how the manager can use their powers to keep you safe. However, the rules cannot give the manager any new powers that they do not already have.
