Does the young person have to be present at court for any amendments to their YRO?
The legislation states that for certain amendments to an order on application by the YOT the young person does not need to appear before the court (paragraph 20(2)(b) schedule 2 Criminal Justice and Immigration Act, 2008) eg when it reduces the duration of a YRO. However, it is good practice for the young person to attend if possible.
