Children Act, 2001

Dual order. |
137.—(1) In this section “dual order” means an order which requires a child either— | |
(a) to be under the supervision of a probation and welfare officer for a specified period, or | ||
(b) to attend at a day centre for a specified period not exceeding 90 days, | ||
and which also restricts the child's movements for a specified period not exceeding 6 months. | ||
(2) The court may make a dual order where it is of opinion that neither supervision by a probation and welfare officer nor attendance at a day centre, including any conditions to which such supervision or attendance would be made subject, would of itself adequately reduce the likelihood of the child committing further offences. | ||
(3) A dual order shall be deemed for all purposes— | ||
(a) in so far as it imposes a requirement mentioned in subsection (1)(a), to be a probation order, | ||
(b) in so far as it imposes a requirement mentioned in subsection (1)(b), to be a day centre order, and | ||
(c) in so far as it restricts a child's movements, to be an order under section 133 . |
