Process for giving immediate order
2.1A.4 Process for giving immediate order
S. 2.1A.4 inserted by No. 24/2021 s. 6.
An immediate school community safety order may be made either orally or by written notice given to the person to whom the order applies.
If an authorised person makes an immediate school community safety order orally, the authorised person must give the person to whom the order applies written notice of the order as soon as is practicable.
For the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), written notice is given to the person to whom the order applies if the notice is—
personally handed to the person; or
sent to the postal address or email address of the person.
If the authorised person is not able to give the written notice under this section to the person to whom the order applies, the authorised person must keep a written record of the following—
the order that was made;
the reason a written notice was not able to be given to the person to whom the order applies;
a description of the person to whom the order applies.
An order that is given orally is not invalid merely because the authorised person has not given the written notice under this section to the person to whom the order applies.
Example
If a person to whom an order applies refuses to give their name or contact details to the authorised person, the authorised person may not be able to give the written notice to the person.
