specify the forensic procedure authorised to be carried out, and

give reasons for making the order, and

ensure that a written record of the order is kept, and

order the former offender (if present) to attend for the carrying out of the forensic procedure, and

inform the former offender (if present) that reasonable force may be used to ensure that he or she complies with the order for the carrying out of the forensic procedure.
