An SSPO may also be imposed, under section 132 of the Act, by a commanding officer who has heard a charge summarily. SSPOs are defined by section 173 of the Act. These Regulations prescribe requirements which may be imposed on an offender by an SSPO, in addition to a mandatory requirement not to use any entitlement to leave without the permission of his commanding officer. Regulation 4 provides for the commanding officer to decide what extra duties an offender is to perform under an SSPO where a requirement to perform such duties is imposed. It also provides for delegation by the commanding officer of certain of his functions in relation to an SSPO. Section 174 of the Act requires the CO to consider, at times prescribed by regulations, whether an SSPO should continue in force and, if he considers that it should not, to order that it shall immediately cease to have effect. Regulation 5 prescribes when the commanding officer must consider whether an SSPO is to continue in force.", "citation": "S.I. 2009/1214", "type": "uksi", "year": "2009", "number": "1214", "version":
