132C CYP director-general’s report
(1) This section applies if the chief police officer intends to apply to the
Magistrates Court under section 132B for a prohibition order for a
young person.
(2) The chief police officer must ask the CYP director-general in writing
for a written report containing the director-general’s opinion on—
(a) whether the nature or pattern of conduct the chief police officer
believes the young person has engaged in poses a risk to the lives
or sexual safety of 1 or more children, or of children generally;
and
(b) whether there are other reasonably appropriate ways of
managing the young person; and
(c) whether the prohibition of the proposed conduct of the young
person is reasonable having regard to the conduct mentioned in
paragraph (a); and
(d) what impact a prohibition order may have on the best interests
of the young person, including the young person’s
accommodation, educational, health, cultural, family or other
social needs.
(3) The report may contain any other information, assessments or reports
that the CYP director-general considers appropriate.
(4) However, a report need not include protected information under the
Children and Young People Act 2008 about the young person.
Note The CYP director-general may give protected information to the chief
police officer if the director-general is satisfied that the information is
materially relevant to an investigation a police officer is carrying out (see
Children and Young People Act 2008, s 865A).
(5) The CYP director-general must give the report to the chief police
officer within 28 days after the day the chief police officer requests
the report.
