Supervision
Order
A Supervision Order can last up to
three years. A range of conditions can be attached to a Supervision
Order when the sentence is used for more serious
offences.
These are called 'specified activities' and can last
for up to 90 days. Examples of 'specified activities' might be
participation in an Intensive Supervision and Surveillance
Programme (ISSP), drug treatment (for young people aged 16+),
curfews or residence requirements which might require a young
person to live in local authority accommodation for the period of
the sentence.
A young person receiving a Supervision Order is also required to
take part in activities set by the Youth Offending Team (YOT) which
could include repairing the harm done by their offence either to
the victim or the community and programmes to address their
offending behaviour such as anger management.
