# The Violent Offences Prevention Order (Notification Requirements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016, Note: Explanatory note (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations set out additional notification requirements for a person who is subject to a violent offences prevention order (or an interim violent offences prevention order) under Part 8 of the Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 2015 (“the 2015 Act”). They supplement notification requirements made in Part 8, sections 64 to 76 of the 2015 Act. Notification requirements involve the provision of personal information to the police, both at the outset and periodically thereafter and require them to also notify certain changes in circumstances. Section 69 of the 2015 Act enables regulations to make provision requiring a person to notify the police of that person’s proposal to travel abroad and of that person’s return. Regulations 4 to 10 set out those requirements for travel outside the United Kingdom. Under regulation 5, where a person proposes to leave the United Kingdom, except when travelling to the Republic of Ireland, that person must give notification under section 69(2) of the 2015 Act in accordance with the Regulations, regardless of the length of the trip. Notification of travel to the Republic of Ireland must be made where the person proposes to travel for a period of three or more days. This regulation also provides that notification must be made of proposed travel not less than seven days before departure, or exceptionally not less than 12 hours before departure. Section 69 also specifies that the notification must disclose the date of departure from the United Kingdom, the country to which the person will travel and the proposed point of arrival in that country. Regulation 6 prescribes additional information to be disclosed. Regulation 7 provides for notification of changes or additions to the information provided. Under regulations 8 and 9, a person is required to give a notification on return to the United Kingdom, unless that person has already notified the required information. Regulation 10 sets out the means by which notifications are to be given. Regulation 11 requires a person who has no sole or main residence to notify every seven days the address or location of a place in the United Kingdom where that person can regularly be found. Regulations 12 and 13 require the person to notify the police when that person resides, or stays for at least 12 hours, at a relevant household. A relevant household is a household or other place at which a child (defined as a person aged under 18 years) resides or stays (whether with its parent, guardian or carer, with another child or alone) and to which the public do not have access. The information must include the date on which the person begins to reside or stay at the relevant household, its address and the period for which that person proposes to reside or stay at that place. Regulation 14 and 15 imposes the requirement of the person to notify information about that person’s bank accounts, and debit and credit cards. It applies to accounts and cards held by that person in that person’s own name or in the name of an unincorporated business run by that person, and whether held singly or jointly with another person. Regulation 14(1) requires the person to notify the police about whether that person holds an account with a banking institution (defined as a bank, building society or any other institution providing banking services), a debit card in relation to such an account, a credit card account or a credit card. If the person holds an account or card, that person is required to notify the information specified in regulation 14(2) to (7). Regulation 15 requires the person to notify a change in any of the circumstances prescribed by that regulation. These circumstances arise where an account is opened or closed, a debit or credit card is obtained, no longer held or has expired and information previously notified by that person has altered or become inaccurate or incomplete. Regulations 16 and 17 requires the person, when giving initial notification under sections 65 to 67 of the 2015 Act, to give certain information in accordance with whether or not that person holds a passport, other identity document (which has the meaning given in section 7 of the Identity Documents Act 2010) or other document. If the person holds a passport, the information must comprise the passport number and that person’s full name as it appears in the passport. If the person does not hold a passport but holds another identity document, the information must comprise the description of the identity document, its issue number (if any) and that person’s full name as it appears in the identity document. If the person does not hold a passport or other identity document, but holds another document containing information which can verify that person’s identification, the information must comprise the description of the document, its issue number (if any) and that person’s full name as it appears in the document. --- Source: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr/2016/145/note (the official version) Page: https://openlegislation.uk/violent-offences-prevention-order-notification-requirements-regulations-northern-ireland-2016/note Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
