(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.
