346.This section disapplies automatic reporting restrictions for breaches, committed by children and young persons, of anti-social behaviour orders and orders made under sections 1B and 1C of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Subsection (2) provides that in proceedings brought against a child or young person for breach of such an order, a court will not be bound by automatic reporting restrictions in section 49 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933. However, the court will retain discretion to apply reporting restrictions. Subsection (3) provides that breaches of anti-social behaviour orders made on conviction will also be covered by this amendment.
