PART 4Programme requirement
Programme requirement
I112
1
In this Code “programme requirement”, in relation to a youth rehabilitation order, means a requirement for the offender to participate in a particular systematic set of activities (a “programme”), which may have a residential component.
2
A youth rehabilitation order which imposes a programme requirement must specify—
a
the programme,
b
the place or places at which the offender is required to participate in it,
c
the number of days on which the offender is required to participate in it, and
d
if the programme has a residential component—
i
the place where the offender is required to reside for the purposes of the residential component, and
ii
the period for which the offender is required to reside there.
3
For the purposes of this paragraph, a programme has “a residential component” if it is necessary to reside at a particular place for a particular period in order to participate in the programme.
4
A programme requirement operates to require the offender, as instructed by the responsible officer—
a
to participate in the programme on the number of days specified in the order at a place specified in the order, and
b
while there, to comply with instructions given by, or under the authority of, the person in charge of the programme.
Restrictions on imposing a programme requirement
I213
1
A court may not include a programme requirement in a youth rehabilitation order unless—
a
the programme which the court proposes to specify has been recommended to the court by—
i
a member of a youth offending team, or
ii
an officer of a provider of probation services,
as being suitable for the offender, and
b
the court is satisfied that the programme is available at the place or places it proposes to specify.
For this purpose, “programme” has the same meaning as in paragraph 12.

A court may not include a programme requirement in a youth rehabilitation order if compliance with the requirement would require the co-operation of a person other than the offender and the offender's responsible officer, unless that other person consents to its inclusion.
