(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.
