Before making a reparation order, a court shall obtain and consider a written report by a probation officer, a social worker of a local authority social services department or a member of a youth offending team, indicating—
the type of work that is suitable for the offender; and
the attitude of the victim or victims to the requirements proposed to be included in the order.
Before making a reparation order, a court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language—
the effect of the order and of the requirements proposed to be included in it;
the consequences which may follow (under Schedule 5 to this Act) if he fails to comply with any of those requirements; and
that the court has power (under that Schedule) to review the order on the application either of the offender or of the responsible officer.
Schedule 5 to this Act shall have effect for dealing with failure to comply with the requirements of reparation orders, for varying such orders and for discharging them with or without the substitution of other sentences.
