(1)This section applies if a contact order with respect to a child has been made.
(2)If the court is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that a person has failed to comply with the contact order, it may make an order (an “enforcement order”) imposing on the person an unpaid work requirement.
(3)But the court may not make an enforcement order if it is satisfied that the person had a reasonable excuse for failing to comply with the contact order.
(4)The burden of proof as to the matter mentioned in subsection (3) lies on the person claiming to have had a reasonable excuse, and the standard of proof is the balance of probabilities.

(b)the person whose contact with the child concerned is provided for in the contact order;
(c)any individual subject to a condition under section 11(7)(b) or a contact activity condition imposed by the contact order; or

(a)Part 1 makes provision as regards an unpaid work requirement;
(b)Part 2 makes provision in relation to the revocation and amendment of enforcement orders and failure to comply with such orders.
