What is a Supervision Order?
If a Supervision Order is granted by the court, this places a duty on the Social Services Department to “advise, assist and befriend” a child and a person who is caring for the child. A Supervision Order will usually last for 12 months but can last for up to three years. The social workers will see the child on a regular basis and give help and support to make sure that the child is being properly looked after.
A supervision order is one of the sentences that a court can give a young person. It requires a young person to be supervised by the youth offending team (YOT) for the length of the order. A supervision order can last from 6 months to 3 years. The young person and their YOT worker will work out a supervision plan.
