Probation Order
A child who is found guilty of an offence can be placed on a probation order. This order requires the person to report, when required, to a Youth Justice Officer. They will also have to agree to conditions, which may include:
- not to re-offend
- obey any instructions of the Youth Justice Officer
- attend school
- not use alcohol or illegal drugs.
The law relating to probation orders is contained in sections 380-386 of the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005.
