17I Explanation of relevant order to offender

(1) Having made a relevant order in relation to an offender, the sentencing court must ensure that reasonable steps are taken to explain to the offender (in language that the offender can readily understand)—

(a) the offender’s obligations under the order, and

(b) the consequences that may follow if the offender fails to comply with those obligations.

(2) A relevant order is not invalidated by a failure to comply with this section.
