Subject to the provisions of this Act, where a person of or over 16 years of age is convicted of an offence punishable by imprisonment, other than an offence the sentence for which is fixed by law, the court may, instead of dealing with him in any other way, make an order (in this Act referred to as " a community service order") requiring him to perform unpaid work for such number of hours (being in total not less than forty nor more than two hundred and forty) as may be specified in the order.
A court shall not make a community service order in respect of any offender unless—
the offender consents;
the court has been notified by the Secretary of State that arrangements exist for persons who reside in the locality in which the offender resides, or will be residing when the order comes into force, to perform work under such an order ;
the court is satisfied, after considering a report by an officer of a local authority about the offender and his circumstances, and, if the court thinks it necessary, hearing that officer, that the offender is a suitable person to perform work under such an order; and
the court is satisfied that provision can be made under the arrangements mentioned in paragraph (b) above for the offender to perform work under such an order.
A copy of the report mentioned in subsection (2)(c) above shall be supplied to the offender or his solicitor.
Before making a community service order the court shall explain to the offender in ordinary language—
the purpose and effect of the order and in particular the obligations on the offender as specified in section 3 of this Act;
the consequences which may follow under section 4 of this Act if he fails to comply with any of those requirements; and
that the court has under section 5 of this Act the power to review the order on the application either of the offender or of an officer of the local authority in whose area the offender for the time being resides.
The Secretary of State may by order direct that subsection (1) above shall be amended by substituting, for the maximum or minimum number of hours specified in that subsection as originally enacted or as subsequently amended under this subsection, such number of hours as may be specified in the order; and an order under this subsection may specify a different maximum or minimum number of hours for different classes of case.
An order under subsection (5) above shall be made by statutory instrument, but no such order shall be made unless a draft of it has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament; and any such order may be varied or revoked by a subsequent order under that subsection.
Nothing in subsection (1) above shall be construed as preventing a court which makes a community service order in respect of any offence from—
imposing any disqualification on the offender;
making an order for forfeiture in respect of the offence ;
ordering the offender to find caution for good behaviour.
A community service order shall—
specify the locality in which the offender resides or will be residing when the order comes into force;
require the local authority in whose area the locality specified under paragraph (a) above is situated to appoint or assign an officer (referred to in this Act as " the local authority officer") who will discharge the functions assigned to him by this Act; and
state the number of hours of work which the offender is required to perform.
Where, whether on the same occasion or on separate occasions, an offender is made subject to more than one community service order, or to both a community service order and a probation order which includes a requirement that that offender shall perform any unpaid work, the court may direct that the hours of work specified in any of those orders shall be concurrent with or additional to those specified in any other of those orders, but so that at no time shall the offender have an outstanding number of hours of work to perform in excess of the maximum provided for in section 1(1) of this Act.
Upon making a community service order the court shall—
give a copy of the order to the offender;
send a copy of the order to the director of social work of the local authority in whose area the offender resides or will be residing when the order comes into force; and
where it is not the appropriate court, send a copy of the order (together with such documents and information relating to the case as are considered useful) to the clerk of the appropriate court.
An offender in respect of whom a community service order is in force shall—
report to the local authority officer and notify him without delay of any change of address or in the times, if any, at which he usually works ; and
perform for the number of hours specified in the order such work at such times as the local authority officer may instruct.
Subject to section 5(1) of this Act, the work required to be performed under a community service order shall be performed during the period of twelve months beginning with the date of the order; but, unless revoked, the order shall remain in force until the offender has worked under it for the number of hours specified in it.
The instructions given by the local authority officer under this section shall, so far as practicable, be such as to avoid any conflict with the offender's religious beliefs and any interference with the times, if any, at which he normally works or attends a school or other educational establishment.
If at any time while a community service order is in force in respect of any offender it appears to the appropriate court, on evidence on oath from the local authority officer, that that offender has failed to comply with any of the requirements of section 3 of this Act (including any failure satisfactorily to perform the work which he has been instructed to do), that court may issue a warrant for the arrest of that offender, or may, if it thinks fit, instead of issuing a warrant in the first instance issue a citation requiring that offender to appear before that court at such time as may be specified in the citation.
If it is proved to the satisfaction of the court before which an offender appears or is brought in pursuance of subsection (1) above that he has failed without reasonable excuse to comply with any of the requirements of the said section 3, that court may—
without prejudice to the continuance in force of the order, impose on him a fine not exceeding £50 ;
revoke the order and deal with that offender in any manner in which he could have been dealt with for the original offence by the court which made the order if the order had not been made; or
subject to section 1(1) of this Act, vary the number of hours specified in the order.
Where a community service order is in force in respect of any offender and, on the application of that offender or of the local authority officer, it appears to the appropriate court that it would be in the interests of justice to do so having regard to circumstances which have arisen since the order was made, that court may—
extend, in relation to the order, the period of twelve months specified in section 3(2) of this Act;
subject to section 1(1) of this Act, vary the number of hours specified in the order;
revoke the order; or
revoke the order and deal with the offender for the original offence in any manner in which he could have been dealt with for that offence by the court which made the order if the order had not been made.
If the appropriate court is satisfied that the offender proposes to change, or has changed, his residence from the locality for the time being specified under section 2(1)(a) of this Act to another locality and— that court may, and on the application of the local authority officer shall, amend the order by substituting that other locality for the locality for the time being specified in the order; and the provisions of this Act shall apply to the order as amended.
that court has been notified by the Secretary of State that arrangements exist for persons who reside in that other locality to perform work under community service orders; and
it appears to that court that provision can be made under those arrangements for him to perform work under the order;
Where the court proposes to exercise its powers under subsection(1)(a), (b) or (d) above otherwise than on the application of the offender, it shall issue a citation requiring him to appear before the court and, if he fails to appear, may issue a warrant for his arrest.
