to the Crown Court against the making of a parenting order by virtue of paragraph (b) of that subsection.
2
On an appeal under subsection (1) above the High Court or the Crown Court—

Any order of the High Court or the Crown Court made on an appeal under subsection (1) above (other than one directing that an application be re-heard by a magistrates' court) shall, for the purposes of subsections (5) to (7) of section 9 above, be treated as if it were an order of the court from which the appeal was brought and not an order of the High Court or the Crown Court.
4
A person in respect of whom a parenting order is made by virtue of section 8(1)(c) above shall have the same right of appeal against the making of the order as if—

the offence that led to the making of the order were an offence committed by him; and
b
the order were a sentence passed on him for the offence.
5
A person in respect of whom a parenting order is made by virtue of section 8(1)(d) above shall have the same right of appeal against the making of the order as if the order were a sentence passed on him for the offence that led to the making of the order.
