EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order specifies the descriptions of persons who are to be made responsible for the electronic monitoring of a child or young person's compliance with a condition imposed on the child or young person by a court remanding him to local authority accommodation.

Article 6 deals with the situation where an electronic monitoring condition is imposed to secure compliance with more than one condition (e.g. a curfew condition and an exclusion condition) which relate to different police areas and the application of articles 3 to 5 would lead to there being more than one description of responsible officer. Article 6(2) provides that the curfew condition takes precedence in determining the responsible officer. Article 6(3) provides that if there is no curfew condition, then the court must choose one of the police areas to which the conditions relate and the responsible officer must be a person of a description who would ordinarily be responsible for electronic monitoring in that police area.
