The text below is the provision as originally enacted. It is historical and may not include amendments made before this status change. View the enacted source.

This section applies where a detention and training order is made in respect of an offender if—

the offender is aged 18 or over at the half-way point of the term of the order,
the term of the order is less than 24 months, and
the order was imposed in respect of an offence committed on or after 1 February 2015.

The following provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (which relate to supervision after end of sentence) apply as they apply in cases described in section 256AA(1) of that Act—

sections 256AA(2) to (11), 256AB and 256AC,
sections 256D and 256E, and
Schedule 19A,

but with the following modifications.

“The supervision period”, in relation to the offender, is the period which—

begins on the expiry of the term of the detention and training order, and
ends on the expiry of the period of 12 months beginning immediately after the half-way point of the term of the order.

“The supervisor”, in relation to the offender, must be—

an officer of a provider of probation services, or
a member of a youth offending team established by the local authority in whose area the offender resides for the time being.

The power in section 256AB(4) of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (power of Secretary of State to amend requirements that may be imposed) includes power—

to make provision about the supervision requirements that may be imposed under section 256AA of that Act as applied by this section, and
to amend any provision of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 or any provision of this Code derived from that Act.

Subsection (7) applies where the term of the detention and training order is determined by section 238(3) (offender subject to two or more detention and training orders).

The offender is subject to supervision under section 256AA of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (as applied by this section) if that section (as applied) so requires in respect of one or more of the detention and training orders.

For the purposes of subsection (1), where an offence is found to have been committed—

over a period of 2 or more days, or
at some time during a period of 2 or more days,

it is taken to have been committed on the last of those days.
