(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order prescribes all Sheriff Courts, District Courts and Justice of the Peace Courts in Scotland as the courts which must make a supervised attendance order in the circumstances described in section 235(4) of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 (article 3). These arrangements apply to these courts with effect from 1st September 2007.

This Order also revokes the Supervised Attendance Order (Prescribed Courts) (Scotland) Order 2004 (article 4).

A supervised attendance order requires an offender to attend a place of supervision for a specified period and, during that period, to carry out such instructions as may be given to the offender by the supervising officer.
