In this Code “referral order” means an order—
which requires an offender to attend each of the meetings of a youth offender panel established for the offender by a youth offending team, and
by virtue of which the offender is required to comply, for a particular period, with a programme of behaviour to be agreed between the offender and the panel in accordance with this Part (which takes effect as a youth offender contract).
For the court's power to order other persons to attend meetings of the panel, see section 90.
For provision about—
the youth offender panel, see section 91;
the youth offender contract, see section 96.
For the purposes of this Code, references to an offender being referred to a youth offender panel are to a referral order being made in respect of the offender.
