Attendance Centre Orders

This order requires the young person to attend at a designated attendance centre (Youth Justice Agency Community Services project) for a set number of hours. The hours of attendance can be from 12 to 24. They will normally be completed over a number of weeks, through planned sessions of between 1 and 2 hours at a time, and will not interfere with school or work. There will be a mixture of individual work, family work, group work and activities which will:

• address issues relating to the offence;
• heighten awareness of the impact of the offence on the victim;
• look at ways to prevent offending; and
• make constructive use of time.
