(1) The purpose of the
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 an
ISO, 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 a
community service requirement; or
(b) that
requires the offender to pay compensation or make restitution to any person;
but that does not prevent a court from making a reparation order under Part
16.
(4) Unless a CCO
orders otherwise, an offender subject to a supervision requirement must
contact a CCO at least once in any period of 28 days.
(5) If an offender
does not comply with subsection (4), he or she is to be taken to have breached
the supervision requirement.
(6) The supervision
requirement ceases to be in force when the ISO ceases to be in force.
