22CQ How support and engagement order is to be made
S. 22CQ inserted by No. 47/2021 s. 6.
In making a support and engagement order, the court must—
attach to the order the proposed support and engagement plan given to the court under section 22CN (with any variations that the court thinks fit); and
Note
The support and engagement order requires that the person comply with it—see section 22AI(a).
specify in the order the period for which the order operates; and
specify in the order the days on which the Secretary is required to provide a report in respect of the order under section 22CV.
The period specified under subsection (1)(b)—
must not be so long that, at the end of that period, the total period during which the supported person will have been subject to a support and engagement order is 2 years or more; and
in any event, must not be longer than 1 year.
The total period referred to in subsection (2)(a) is to be calculated by adding together the lengths of the periods during which the respondent has been subject to support and engagement orders, irrespective of whether or not any of those periods were consecutive.
Nothing in this section requires that, if a court makes a support and engagement order for a supported person who is a child, the period specified under subsection (1)(b) must end on or before the day that the supported person turns 18.
