Explanatory note

This Order specifies the descriptions of persons who are to be made responsible for the electronic monitoring of a child or young person’s compliance with a requirement imposed on the child or young person as a condition of bail.

Article 6 deals with the situation where an electronic monitoring requirement is imposed in respect of more than one bail condition (e.g. a curfew requirement and an exclusion requirement) which relate to different police areas and the application of articles 3 to 5 would lead to there being more than one description of responsible officer. Article 6(2) provides that the curfew requirement takes precedence in determining the responsible officer. Article 6(3) provides that if there is no curfew requirement, then the court must choose one of the police areas to which the requirements relate and the responsible officer must be a person of a description who would ordinarily be responsible for electronic monitoring in that police area.
