the individual to be specified under subsection (1), if an individual is to be specified;
b
an individual representing the organisation to be specified under subsection (1), if an organisation is to be specified.

It is the duty of a person specified under subsection (1)—
a
to make any necessary arrangements in connection with the requirements for which the person has responsibility (the “relevant requirements”);
b
to promote the offender’s compliance with the relevant requirements;
c
if the person considers that the offender—
i
has complied with all the relevant requirements, or

has failed to comply with a relevant requirement,
to inform the prosecution and the appropriate chief officer of police.

In subsection (4)(c) “the appropriate chief officer of police” means—
a
the chief officer of police for the police area in which it appears to the person specified under subsection (1) that the offender lives, or

if it appears to that person that the offender lives in more than one police area, whichever of the relevant chief officers of police that person thinks it most appropriate to inform.
