1
A sexual risk order is an order prohibiting the person against whom it is made from doing, or requiring the person to do, a thing or things described in the order.
2
A prohibition or requirement contained in a sexual risk order applies throughout the United Kingdom (unless expressly confined to particular localities).
3
A prohibition or requirement in a sexual risk order has effect for a fixed period, specified in the order, of not less than 2 years.
4
Different periods may be provided for different prohibitions or requirements.
5
The prohibitions and requirements which may be imposed in a sexual risk order are those necessary for the purpose of—
a
protecting the public, or any particular members of the public, from harm from the respondent, or
b
protecting children or vulnerable adults generally, or any particular children or vulnerable adults, from harm from the respondent outside the United Kingdom.
6
Where a sheriff makes a sexual risk order in relation to a person already subject to such an order (whether made by that sheriff or another), the earlier order ceases to have effect.
7
A sexual risk order ceases to have effect, if it has not already done so, when all of the prohibitions or requirements in it have ceased to have effect.
