Section 96ZB Young offenders: parental noticesF1
Where the person (“P”) given a notice under section 96ZA is under 18 a constable may also give a notice (a “parental notice”) to a person (“the parent”) with parental responsibility for P.
Subsections (3)(b) to (5) of section 96ZA apply to the giving of a parental notice as if references to P were references to the parent.
If a parental notice has been given to the parent and has not been cancelled or ceased to have effect—
the obligations that would (apart from this subsection) be imposed by virtue of section 96ZA on P are to be treated instead as obligations on the parent, and
the parent must ensure that P attends with them at the police station when a notification under this Part is being given.
The parental notice ceases to have effect when P reaches the age of 18.
If a parental notice is to be given, section 96ZA(4)(a) has effect in relation to the notice given to P as if the reference to the notifications that P is required to give under this Part were a reference to—
the notifications that the parent is required to give under this Part, and
the notifications (if any) that P is required to give under this Part once the parental notice ceases to have effect.
