requires the offender to do anything described in the order.

The order may in particular require the offender to comply with section 358C (notification requirements).

A court may include a prohibition or requirement only if it considers it necessary for the purpose of preventing the offender from engaging, or reducing the likelihood of the offender engaging, in child criminal exploitation.

(3)

Prohibitions and requirements must, so far as practicable, be such as to avoid—

(a)

any conflict with any religious beliefs of the offender;

(b)

any interference with the times, if any, at which the offender normally works or attends any educational establishment;

(c)

any conflict with the prohibitions and requirements of any other court order or injunction to which the offender is subject.

(4)

A prohibition or requirement applies throughout the United Kingdom unless expressly limited to a particular area.

state that it has effect until further order.

(6)

Where—

(a)

the offender has been remanded in or committed to custody by an order of a court, or

(b)

a custodial sentence has been imposed on the offender or the offender is serving or otherwise subject to a such a sentence,

a CCE prevention order may provide that it does not take effect until the offender is released from custody or ceases to be subject to a custodial sentence.

(7)

A CCE prevention order may specify periods for which particular prohibitions or requirements have effect.
