6Establishment of panels(1)

Where a referral order has been made in respect of an offender (or two or more associated referral orders have been so made), it is the duty of the youth offending team specified in the order (or orders)—

(a)

to establish a youth offender panel for the offender;

(b)

to arrange for the first meeting of the panel to be held for the purposes of section 8; and

(c)

subsequently to arrange for the holding of any further meetings of the panel required by virtue of section 10 (in addition to those required by virtue of any other provision of this Part).

(2)

A youth offender panel shall—

(a)

be constituted,

(b)

conduct its proceedings, and

(c)

discharge its functions under this Part (and in particular those arising under section 8),

in accordance with guidance given from time to time by the Secretary of State.

(3)

At each of its meetings a panel shall, however, consist of at least—

(a)

one member appointed by the youth offending team from among its members; and

(b)

two members so appointed who are not members of the team.

(4)

The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision requiring persons appointed as members of a youth offender panel to have such qualifications, or satisfy such other criteria, as are specified in the regulations.

(5)

Where it appears to the court which made a referral order that, by reason of either a change or a prospective change in the offender’s place or intended place of residence, the youth offending team for the time being specified in the order (“the current team”) either does not or will not have the function of implementing referral orders in the area in which the offender resides or will reside, the court may vary the order so that it instead specifies the team which has the function of implementing such orders in that area (“the new team”).

(6)

Where a court so varies a referral order—

(a)

subsection (1)(a) shall apply to the new team in any event;

(b)

subsection (1)(b) shall apply to the new team if no youth offender contract has (or has under paragraph (c) below been treated as having) taken effect under section 8 between the offender and a youth offender panel established by the current team;

(c)

if such a contract has (or has previously under this paragraph been treated as having) so taken effect, it shall (after the variation) be treated as if it were a contract which had taken effect under section 8 between the offender and the panel being established for the offender by the new team.

(7)

References in this Part to the meetings of a youth offender panel (or any such meeting) are to the following meetings of the panel (or any of them)—

(a)

the first meeting held in pursuance of subsection (1)(b);

(b)

any further meetings held in pursuance of section 10;

(c)

any progress meeting held under section 11; and

(d)

the final meeting held under section 12.
