SENTENCING ACT 1995 - SECT 33F

33F .         Supervision requirement

        (1)         The purpose of a supervision requirement is to allow for the offender to be regularly monitored in the community, and to receive regular counselling, in a way and to an extent decided by a CCO, for the purpose of either or both —

            (a)         rehabilitating the offender;

            (b)         ensuring the offender complies with any direction given by the court when imposing the requirement.

        (2)         The supervision requirement is a requirement that the offender must contact a CCO, or receive visits from a CCO, as ordered by a CCO.

        (3)         When imposing a supervision requirement, a court may give any directions it decides are necessary to secure the good behaviour of the offender but the court is not to make a direction —

            (a)         the effect of which could be achieved by imposing a programme requirement; or

            (b)         that requires the offender to pay compensation or make restitution to any person or to perform any community or other work.

        (4)         Unless a CCO orders otherwise, an offender subject to a supervision requirement must contact a CCO at least once in any period of 8 weeks.

        (5)         If an offender does not comply with subsection (4), he or she is to be taken to have breached the supervision requirement.

        (6)         A supervision requirement ceases to be in force when the PSO ceases to be in force.
