(1) In deciding whether to make a parenting order under section 41, a court must take into account (amongst other things)—

(a) any refusal by the parent to enter into a parenting contract under section 40 in respect of the person to whom this Part applies, or

(b) if the parent has entered into such a parenting contract, any failure by the parent to comply with the requirements specified in the contract.

(2) Subsections (3) to (7) of section 9 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c. 37) (supplemental provisions about parenting orders) apply in relation to a parenting order under section 41 as they apply in relation to a parenting order under section 8 of that Act.
