  "text": "(1) At a review hearing, within the meaning of article 3(1), the court may, subject to paragraph (3), after considering any responsible officer’s report prepared in pursuance of that article, amend a youth rehabilitation order which consists of or includes the provisions mentioned in article 2(2).\n(2) The court —\n(a) may not amend the order so as to impose a requirement of a different kind unless the offender has expressed willingness to comply with that requirement;\n(b) may not amend the order so as to make it more onerous unless the offender has expressed his willingness to comply with the order as amended;\n(c) may not amend a drug treatment requirement, a drug testing requirement or an intoxicating substance treatment requirement unless the offender has expressed his willingness to comply with the requirement as amended;\n(d) may not, in the case of a youth rehabilitation order with intensive supervision and surveillance, amend it such that the date specified for the purposes of paragraph 32(1) of Schedule 1 to the Act is earlier than 6 months after the date on which the order took effect; and\n(e) may, subject to sub-paragraph (b), extend the duration of a particular requirement (subject to any limit imposed by Schedules 1 and 2 to the Act) but may not extend the date specified under paragraph 32(1) of Schedule 1 to the Act by which all the requirements in it must have been complied with.\n(3) The court may not, except with the consent of the offender, amend a youth rehabilitation order while an appeal against that order is pending.\n(4) For the purposes of paragraph (2)(a) —\n(a) a requirement falling within any paragraph of Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Act is of the same kind as any other requirement falling within that paragraph; and\n(b) an electronic monitoring requirement is a requirement of the same kind as any requirement falling within Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Act to which it relates.\n(5) Where —\n(a) a youth rehabilitation order imposes a fostering requirement (“the original requirement”), and\n(b) at a review hearing, within the meaning of article 3(1), the court proposes to substitute a new fostering requirement (“the substitute requirement”) for the original requirement,\nparagraph 18(2) of Schedule 1 to the Act applies in relation to the substitute requirement as if the reference to the period of 12 months beginning with the date on which the original requirement had first had effect were a reference to the period of 18 months beginning with that date.\n(6) If, before a review hearing is held at any review, the court, after considering any responsible officer’s report pursuant to article 3(1), is of the opinion that the offender’s progress in complying with the requirements of the order is satisfactory, they may order that no review hearing is to be held at that review; and if before a review hearing is held at any review, or at a review hearing, the court, after considering any such report, is of that opinion, they may amend the youth rehabilitation order so as to provide for each subsequent review to be held without a hearing.\n(7) If, at a review held without a hearing, the court after considering any responsible officer’s report pursuant to article 3(1), is of the opinion that the offender’s progress under the order is no longer satisfactory, they may require the offender to attend a hearing of the court at a specified time and place.\n(8) If, at a review hearing, the court is of the opinion that the offender may have failed without reasonable excuse to comply with a youth rehabilitation order, the court may adjourn the hearing to enable the responsible officer to consider whether to take any action under paragraph 3 or 4 of Schedule 2 to the Act.\n(9) At a review hearing the court may amend the youth rehabilitation order so as to vary the intervals specified under article 3(1)(a).\n(10) In this article, any reference to the court, in relation to a review without a hearing, is to be read —\n(a) in the case of the Crown Court, as a reference to the judge of the court; and\n(b) in the case of a youth court, as a reference to a justice of the peace.",
