(1)

This paragraph applies if—

(a)

the suspended sentence order does not contain provision for review within the meaning of section 293A (review of suspended sentence order qualifying for special procedures),

(b)

in a case where the order imposes a probation requirement, the responsible officer does not consider that it is necessary to give any further instructions to the offender pursuant to that requirement,

(c)

in a case where the order imposes one or more other community requirements listed in section 287 (whether or not it also imposes a probation requirement), the offender has complied with each of those other requirements, and

(d)

in a case where a sentence plan has been prepared for the offender, the responsible officer—

(i)

considers that the offender has met the objectives set out in the plan, and

(ii)

does not consider that it is necessary to add to those objectives.

(2)

The supervision period terminates on the date specified by the responsible officer to the offender.

(3)

In this paragraph “sentence plan”, in relation to an offender to whom a suspended sentence order relates, means a plan prepared by the responsible officer which sets out—

(a)

the community requirements imposed by the order,

(b)

any objectives to be met by the offender for the purposes of the order, and

(c)

how the offender—

(i)

will comply with those requirements, and

(ii)

will meet any such objectives.

(4)

If section 39 of the Sentencing Act 2026 (which inserted this paragraph) comes into force before section 13 of that Act, the references in sub-paragraph (1) to a probation requirement are to be read, until that section comes into force, as references to a rehabilitation activity requirement.
