Parenting contracts in respect of anti-social behaviour: registered social landlords 25B 1 A registered social landlord may enter into a parenting contract with a parent of a child or young person if— a the registered social landlord has reason to believe that the child or young person— i has engaged in anti-social behaviour, or ii is likely to engage in such behaviour, and b that behaviour directly or indirectly relates to or affects the housing management functions of the registered social landlord (or, where paragraph (a)(ii) applies, would do so if the behaviour were engaged in). 2 A parenting contract is a document which contains— a a statement by the parent that he agrees to comply with such requirements as may be specified in the document for such period as may be so specified, and b a statement by the registered social landlord that it agrees to make arrangements for the provision of support to the parent for the purpose of complying with those requirements. 3 The requirements mentioned in subsection (2)(a) may include (in particular) a requirement to attend a counselling or guidance programme. 4 The purpose of the requirements mentioned in subsection (2)(a) is to prevent the child or young person from engaging in anti-social behaviour or further anti-social behaviour. 5 A parenting contract must be signed by the parent and signed on behalf of the registered social landlord. 6 A parenting contract does not create any obligations in respect of whose breach any liability arises in contract or in tort. 7 In carrying out their functions in relation to parenting contracts— a registered social landlords on the register maintained by the Housing Corporation shall have regard to any guidance which is issued by the Secretary of State from time to time for that purpose; b registered social landlords on the register maintained by the National Assembly for Wales shall have regard to any guidance which is issued by the Assembly from time to time for that purpose. 2 In section 29(1) of that Act (interpretation of sections 25 to 29) the following definitions are inserted at the appropriate places— “ housing accommodation ” has the meaning given by section 153E(9) of the Housing Act 1996; ; “ housing management functions ”, in relation to a registered social landlord, include— a functions conferred by or under any enactment; b the powers and duties of the landlord as the holder of an estate or interest in housing accommodation; ; “ local authority ” means— a a county council in England; b a metropolitan district council; c a non-metropolitan district council for an area for which there is no county council; d a London borough council; e the Common Council of the City of London; f the Council of the Isles of Scilly; g a county council or county borough council in Wales; ; “ registered social landlord ” means a body registered as such under Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Housing Act 1996; . Parenting orders: local authorities and registered social landlords 24 In Part 3 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 (c. 38) (parental responsibilities), after section 26 there is inserted— Parenting orders in respect of anti-social behaviour: local authorities 26A 1 A local authority may apply for a parenting order in respect of a parent of a child or young person if— a the local authority has reason to believe that the child or young person has engaged in anti-social behaviour, and b the child or young person resides, or appears to reside, in the local authority's area. An application for such an order may be made to a magistrates' court or, where section 26C so allows, to a county court. 2 If such an application is made, the court may make a parenting order in respect of a parent of the child or young person if it is satisfied— a that the child or young person has engaged in anti-social behaviour, and b that making the order would be desirable in the interests of preventing the child or young person from engaging in further anti-social behaviour. 3 A parenting order is an order which requires the parent— a to comply, for a period not exceeding twelve months, with such requirements as are specified in the order, and b subject to subsection (4), to attend, for a concurrent period not exceeding three months, such counselling or guidance programme as may be specified in directions given by the responsible officer. 4 A parenting order under this section may, but need not, include a requirement mentioned in subsection (3)(b) in any case where a parenting order under this section or any other enactment has been made in respect of the parent on a previous occasion. 5 A counselling or guidance programme which a parent is required to attend by virtue of subsection (3)(b) may be or include a residential course but only if the court is satisfied that the following two conditions are fulfilled. 6 The first condition is that the attendance of the parent at a residential course is likely to be more effective than his attendance at a non-residential course in preventing the child or young person from engaging in further anti-social behaviour. 7 The second condition is that any interference with family life which is likely to result from the attendance of the parent at a residential course is proportionate in all the circumstances. 8 A person is eligible to be the responsible officer in relation to a parenting order under this section only if he is— a an officer of the local authority which applied for the order, or b a person nominated by that authority or by a person or body requested by the authority to make a nomination. A person may not be nominated under paragraph (b) without his consent. Parenting orders in respect of anti-social behaviour: registered social landlords 26B 1 A registered social landlord may apply for a parenting order in respect of a parent of a child or young person if— a the registered social landlord has reason to believe that the child or young person has engaged in anti-social behaviour, and b the behaviour in question directly or indirectly relates to or affects the housing management functions of the registered social landlord. An application for such an order may be made to a magistrates' court or, where section 26C so allows, to a county court. 2 If such an application is made, the court may make a parenting order in respect of a parent of the child or young person if it is satisfied— a that the child or young person has engaged in anti-social behaviour, and b that making the order would be desirable in the interests of preventing the child or young person from engaging in further anti-social behaviour. 3 A parenting order is an order which requires the parent— a to comply, for a period not exceeding twelve months, with such requirements as are specified in the order, and b subject to subsection (4), to attend, for a concurrent period not exceeding three months, such counselling or guidance programme as may be specified in directions given by the responsible officer. 4 A parenting order under this section may, but need not, include a requirement mentioned in subsection (3)(b) in any case where a parenting order under this section or any other enactment has been made in respect of the parent on a previous occasion. 5 A counselling or guidance programme which a parent is required to attend by virtue of subsection (3)(b) may be or include a residential course but only if the court is satisfied that the following two conditions are fulfilled. 6 The first condition is that the attendance of the parent at a residential course is likely to be more effective than his attendance at a non-residential course in preventing the child or young person from engaging in further anti-social behaviour. 7 The second condition is that any interference with family life which is likely to result from the attendance of the parent at a residential course is proportionate in all the circumstances. 8 A registered social landlord must not make an application under this section without first consulting the local authority in whose area the child or young person in question resides or appears to reside. 9 A person is eligible to be the responsible officer in relation to a parenting order under this section only if he is— a an officer of the registered social landlord which applied for the order, or b a person nominated by that registered social landlord. A person may not be nominated under paragraph (b) without his consent. 10 In deciding whom to nominate under subsection (9)(b) a registered social landlord must take into account the views of— a the local authority mentioned in subsection (8), and b such other persons or bodies as the registered social landlord thinks appropriate. Applications under section 26A or 26B in county court proceedings 26C 1 Where a local authority or registered social landlord (a “relevant authority”)— a is a party to proceedings in a county court, and b considers that a party to those proceedings is a person in relation to whom it would be reasonable for it to make an application for a parenting order under section 26A or 26B (a “parenting order application”), it may make such an application to that court in relation to that person. 2 Where— a a relevant authority considers that a party to proceedings in a county court is a person in relation to whom it would be reasonable for it to make a parenting order application, but b the relevant authority is not a party to those proceedings, it may apply to be joined to those proceedings to enable it to make a parenting order application. 3 Where— a there are proceedings in a county court to which a relevant authority is a party, and b the relevant authority considers that a child or young person has engaged in anti-social behaviour that is material in relation to the proceedings, the relevant authority may apply for a person who is a parent of the child or young person to be joined to the proceedings to enable it to make a parenting order application in relation to him. 4 A person must not be joined to proceedings in pursuance of subsection (3) unless the anti-social behaviour in question is material in relation to those proceedings. Contracting out of local authority functions with regard to parenting contracts and parenting orders 25 In Part 3 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 (c. 38) (parental responsibilities), after section 28 there is inserted— Contracting out of local authority functions 28A 1 An order made by— a the Secretary of State as regards local authorities in England, or b the National Assembly for Wales as regards local authorities in Wales, may provide that a local authority may make arrangements with a person who is specified in the order, or is of a description so specified, for the exercise of any function it has under or by virtue of section 25A or 26A. 2 The order may provide— a that the power of the local authority to make the arrangements is subject to such conditions as are specified in the order; b that the arrangements must be subject to such conditions as are so specified; c that the arrangements may be made subject to such other conditions as the local authority thinks appropriate. 3 The order may provide that the arrangements may authorise the exercise of the function— a either wholly or to such extent as may be specified in the order or arrangements; b either generally or in such cases or areas as may be so specified. 4 An order under this section may provide that the person with whom arrangements are made in pursuance of the order is to be treated as if he were a public body for the purposes of section 1 of the Local Authorities (Goods and Services) Act 1970. 5 The Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the National Assembly for Wales must not make an order under this section without first consulting— a such representatives of local government as appear to be appropriate; b such other persons as appear to be appropriate. 6 Any arrangements made by a local authority in pursuance of an order under this section do not prevent the local authority from exercising the function to which the arrangements relate. 7 The following provisions of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 apply for the purposes of arrangements made in pursuance of an order under this section as they apply for the purposes of an authorisation to exercise functions by virtue of an order under section 70(2) of that Act— a section 72 (effect of contracting out); b section 73 (termination of contracting out); c section 75 and Schedule 15 (provision relating to disclosure of information); d paragraph 3 of Schedule 16 (authorised persons to be treated as officers of local authority). 8 For the purposes of subsection (7), any reference in the provisions specified in paragraphs (a) to (d) to a person authorised to exercise a function is to be construed as a reference to a person with whom an arrangement is made for the exercise of the function in pursuance of an order under this section. 9 Local authorities in England and any person with whom they make arrangements in pursuance of an order under this section must have regard to any guidance issued by the Secretary of State for the purposes of this section. 10 Local authorities in Wales and any person with whom they make arrangements in pursuance of an order under this section must have regard to any guidance issued by the National Assembly for Wales for the purposes of this section.

Injunctions in local authority proceedings: power of arrest and remand 27 1 This section applies to proceedings in which a local authority is a party by virtue of section 222 of the Local Government Act 1972 (c. 70) (power of local authority to bring, defend or appear in proceedings for the promotion or protection of the interests of inhabitants of their area). 2 If the court grants an injunction which prohibits conduct which is capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to a person it may, if subsection (3) applies, attach a power of arrest to any provision of the injunction. 3 This subsection applies if the local authority applies to the court to attach the power of arrest and the court thinks that either— a the conduct mentioned in subsection (2) consists of or includes the use or threatened use of violence, or b there is a significant risk of harm to the person mentioned in that subsection. 4 Where a power of arrest is attached to any provision of an injunction under subsection (2), a constable may arrest without warrant a person whom he has reasonable cause for suspecting to be in breach of that provision. 5 After making an arrest under subsection (4) the constable must as soon as is reasonably practicable inform the local authority. 6 Where a person is arrested under subsection (4)— a he shall be brought before the court within the period of 24 hours beginning at the time of his arrest, and b if the matter is not then disposed of forthwith, the court may remand him. 7 For the purposes of subsection (6), when calculating the period of 24 hours referred to in paragraph (a) of that subsection, no account shall be taken of Christmas Day, Good Friday or any Sunday. 8 Schedule 10 applies in relation to the power to remand under subsection (6). 9 If the court has reason to consider that a medical report will be required, the power to remand a person under subsection (6) may be exercised for the purpose of enabling a medical examination and report to be made. 10 If such a power is so exercised the adjournment shall not be in force— a for more than three weeks at a time in a case where the court remands the accused person in custody, or b for more than four weeks at a time in any other case. 11 If there is reason to suspect that a person who has been arrested under subsection (4) is suffering from mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983 the court shall have the same power to make an order under section 35 of that Act (remand for report on accused's mental condition) as the Crown Court has under that section in the case of an accused person within the meaning of that section. 12 For the purposes of this section— a “ harm ” includes serious ill-treatment or abuse (whether physical or not); b “ local authority ” has the same meaning as in section 222 of the Local Government Act 1972 (c. 70); c “ the court ” means the High Court or the county court and includes— i in relation to the High Court, a judge of that court, and ii in relation to the county court, a judge ... of that court.

Use of live link at preliminary hearings where accused is in custody 57B 1 This section applies in relation to a preliminary hearing in a magistrates' court or the Crown Court. 2 Where it appears to the court before which the preliminary hearing is to take place that the accused is likely to be held in custody during the hearing, the court may give a live link direction under this section in relation to the attendance of the accused at the hearing. 3 A live link direction under this section is a direction requiring the accused, if he is being held in custody during the hearing, to attend it through a live link from the place at which he is being held. 4 If a hearing takes place in relation to the giving or rescinding of such a direction, the court may require or permit a person attending the hearing to do so through a live link. 5 The court shall not give or rescind such a direction (whether at a hearing or otherwise) unless the parties to the proceedings have been given the opportunity to make representations. 6 If in a case where it has power to do so a magistrates' court decides not to give a live link direction under this section, it must— a state in open court its reasons for not doing so; and b cause those reasons to be entered in the register of its proceedings. Use of live link at preliminary hearings where accused is at police station 57C 1 This section applies in relation to a preliminary hearing in a magistrates' court. 2 Where subsection (3) or (4) applies to the accused, the court may give a live link direction in relation to his attendance at the preliminary hearing. 3 This subsection applies to the accused if— a he is in police detention at a police station in connection with the offence; and b it appears to the court that he is likely to remain at that station in police detention until the beginning of the preliminary hearing. 4 This subsection applies to the accused if he is at a police station in answer to live link bail in connection with the offence. 5 A live link direction under this section is a direction requiring the accused to attend the preliminary hearing through a live link from the police station. 6 But a direction given in relation to an accused to whom subsection (3) applies has no effect if he does not remain in police detention at the police station until the beginning of the preliminary hearing. 7 A live link direction under this section may not be given unless the accused has given his consent to the court. 8 A magistrates' court may rescind a live link direction under this section at any time before or during a hearing to which it relates. 9 A magistrates' court may require or permit— a the accused to give or withhold consent under subsection (7) through a live link; and b any party to the proceedings who wishes to make representations in relation to the giving or rescission of a live link direction under this section to do so through a live link. 10 Where a live link direction under this section is given in relation to an accused person who is answering to live link bail he is to be treated as having surrendered to the custody of the court (as from the time when the direction is given). 11 In this section, “ live link bail ” means bail granted under Part 4 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 subject to the duty mentioned in section 47(3)(b) of that Act.” Continued use of live link for sentencing hearing following a preliminary hearing 57D 1 Subsection (2) applies where— a a live link direction under section 57B or 57C is in force; b the accused is attending a preliminary hearing through a live link by virtue of the direction; c the court convicts him of the offence in the course of that hearing (whether by virtue of a guilty plea or an indication of an intention to plead guilty); and d the court proposes to continue the hearing as a sentencing hearing in relation to the offence. 2 The accused may continue to attend through the live link by virtue of the direction if— a the hearing is continued as a sentencing hearing in relation to the offence; b the accused consents to his continuing to attend through the live link; and c the court is satisfied that it is not contrary to the interests of justice for him to do so. 3 But the accused may not give oral evidence through the live link during a continued hearing under subsection (2) unless— a he consents to give evidence in that way; and b the court is satisfied that it is not contrary to the interests of justice for him to give it in that way. Use of live link in sentencing hearings 57E 1 This section applies where the accused is convicted of the offence. 2 If it appears to the court by or before which the accused is convicted that it is likely that he will be held in custody during any sentencing hearing for the offence, the court may give a live link direction under this section in relation to that hearing. 3 A live link direction under this section is a direction requiring the accused, if he is being held in custody during the hearing, to attend it through a live link from the place at which he is being held. 4 Such a direction— a may be given by the court of its own motion or on an application by a party; and b may be given in relation to all subsequent sentencing hearings before the court or to such hearing or hearings as may be specified or described in the direction. 5 The court may not give such a direction unless— a the offender has given his consent to the direction; and b the court is satisfied that it is not contrary to the interests of justice to give the direction. 6 The court may rescind such a direction at any time before or during a hearing to which it relates if it appears to the court to be in the interests of justice to do so (but this does not affect the court's power to give a further live link direction in relation to the offender). The court may exercise this power of its own motion or on an application by a party. 7 The offender may not give oral evidence while attending a hearing through a live link by virtue of this section unless— a he consents to give evidence in that way; and b the court is satisfied that it is not contrary to the interests of justice for him to give it in that way. 8 The court must— a state in open court its reasons for refusing an application for, or for the rescission of, a live link direction under this section; and b if it is a magistrates' court, cause those reasons to be entered in the register of its proceedings. Live link bail 46 1 The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c. 60) is amended as follows. 2 After section 34(7) (persons who are to be treated as arrested) there is inserted— 8 Subsection (7) does not apply in relation to a person who is granted bail subject to the duty mentioned in section 47(3)(b) and who either— a attends a police station to answer to such bail, or b is arrested under section 46A for failing to do so, (provision as to the treatment of such persons for the purposes of this Part being made by section 46ZA). 3 After section 46 (detention after charge) there is inserted— Persons granted live link bail 46ZA 1 This section applies in relation to bail granted under this Part subject to the duty mentioned in section 47(3)(b) (“live link bail”). 2 An accused person who attends a police station to answer to live link bail is not to be treated as in police detention for the purposes of this Act. 3 Subsection (2) does not apply in relation to an accused person if— a at any time before the beginning of proceedings in relation to a live link direction under section 57C of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 in relation to him, he informs a constable that he does not intend to give his consent to the direction; b at any such time, a constable informs him that a live link will not be available for his use for the purposes of that section; c proceedings in relation to a live link direction under that section have begun but he does not give his consent to the direction; or d the court determines for any other reason not to give such a direction. 4 If any of paragraphs (a) to (d) of subsection (3) apply in relation to a person, he is to be treated for the purposes of this Part— a as if he had been arrested for and charged with the offence in connection with which he was granted bail, and b as if he had been so charged at the time when that paragraph first applied in relation to him. 5 An accused person who is arrested under section 46A for failing to attend at a police station to answer to live link bail, and who is brought to a police station in accordance with that section, is to be treated for the purposes of this Part— a as if he had been arrested for and charged with the offence in connection with which he was granted bail, and b as if he had been so charged at the time when he is brought to the station. 6 Nothing in subsection (4) or (5) affects the operation of section 47(6). 4 In section 46A (power of arrest for failure to answer to police bail) after subsection (1) there is inserted— 1ZA The reference in subsection (1) to a person who fails to attend at a police station at the time appointed for him to do so includes a reference to a person who— a attends at a police station to answer to bail granted subject to the duty mentioned in section 47(3)(b), but b leaves the police station at any time before the beginning of proceedings in relation to a live link direction under section 57C of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 in relation to him, without informing a constable that he does not intend to give his consent to the direction. 5 In section 47 (bail after arrest) — a in subsection (3), for paragraphs (a) and (b) and the words following them there is substituted— a to appear before a magistrates' court at such time and such place as the custody officer may appoint; b to attend at such police station as the custody officer may appoint at such time as he may appoint for the purposes of— i proceedings in relation to a live link direction under section 57C of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (use of live link direction at preliminary hearings where accused is at police station); and ii any preliminary hearing in relation to which such a direction is given; or c to attend at such police station as the custody officer may appoint at such time as he may appoint for purposes other than those mentioned in paragraph (b). ; b in subsection (7), at the end there is inserted “ or to a person to whom section 46ZA(4) or (5) applies ” . 6 In section 54 (searches of detained persons), in subsection (1)(b), after “37 above” there is inserted “ or as a person to whom section 46ZA(4) or (5) applies ” . Evidence of vulnerable accused 47 After section 33 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (c. 23) (interpretation etc of Chapter 1 of Part 2) there is inserted— Chapter 1A Use of live link for evidence of certain accused persons Live link directions 33A 1 This section applies to any proceedings (whether in a magistrates' court or before the Crown Court) against a person for an offence. 2 The court may, on the application of the accused, give a live link direction if it is satisfied— a that the conditions in subsection (4) or, as the case may be, subsection (5) are met in relation to the accused, and b that it is in the interests of justice for the accused to give evidence through a live link. 3 A live link direction is a direction that any oral evidence to be given before the court by the accused is to be given through a live link. 4 Where the accused is aged under 18 when the application is made, the conditions are that— a his ability to participate effectively in the proceedings as a witness giving oral evidence in court is compromised by his level of intellectual ability or social functioning, and b use of a live link would enable him to participate more effectively in the proceedings as a witness (whether by improving the quality of his evidence or otherwise). 5 Where the accused has attained the age of 18 at that time, the conditions are that— a he suffers from a mental disorder (within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983) or otherwise has a significant impairment of intelligence and social function, b he is for that reason unable to participate effectively in the proceedings as a witness giving oral evidence in court, and c use of a live link would enable him to participate more effectively in the proceedings as a witness (whether by improving the quality of his evidence or otherwise). 6 While a live link direction has effect the accused may not give oral evidence before the court in the proceedings otherwise than through a live link. 7 The court may discharge a live link direction at any time before or during any hearing to which it applies if it appears to the court to be in the interests of justice to do so (but this does not affect the power to give a further live link direction in relation to the accused). The court may exercise this power of its own motion or on an application by a party. 8 The court must state in open court its reasons for— a giving or discharging a live link direction, or b refusing an application for or for the discharge of a live link direction, and, if it is a magistrates' court, it must cause those reasons to be entered in the register of its proceedings. Section 33A: meaning of “live link” 33B 1 In section 33A “ live link ” means an arrangement by which the accused, while absent from the place where the proceedings are being held, is able— a to see and hear a person there, and b to be seen and heard by the persons mentioned in subsection (2), and for this purpose any impairment of eyesight or hearing is to be disregarded. 2 The persons are— a the judge or justices (or both) and the jury (if there is one), b where there are two or more accused in the proceedings, each of the other accused, c legal representatives acting in the proceedings, and d any interpreter or other person appointed by the court to assist the accused. Saving 33C Nothing in this Chapter affects— a any power of a court to make an order, give directions or give leave of any description in relation to any witness (including an accused), or b the operation of any rule of law relating to evidence in criminal proceedings. Appeals under Part 1 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 48 1 In section 22 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1968 (c. 19) (right of appellant to be present at criminal appeal hearings in Court of Appeal), after subsection (3) there is inserted— 4 The Court of Appeal may give a live link direction in relation to a hearing at which the appellant is expected to be in custody but is entitled to be present (by virtue of subsection (1) or leave given under subsection (2)) at any time before the beginning of that hearing. 5 For this purpose— a a “live link direction” is a direction that the appellant (if he is being held in custody at the time of the hearing) is to attend the hearing through a live link from the place at which he is held; and b “ live link ” means an arrangement by which the appellant is able to see and hear, and to be seen and heard by, the Court of Appeal (and for this purpose any impairment of eyesight or hearing is to be disregarded). 6 The Court of Appeal— a must not give a live link direction unless the parties to the appeal have had the opportunity to make representations about the giving of such a direction; and b may rescind a live link direction at any time before or during any hearing to which it applies (whether of its own motion or on the application of a party). 2 In section 23 of that Act (giving of evidence), after subsection (4) there is inserted— 5 A live link direction under section 22(4) does not apply to the giving of oral evidence by the appellant at any hearing unless that direction, or any subsequent direction of the court, provides expressly for the giving of such evidence through a live link. 3 In section 31(2) of that Act (powers exercisable by single judge), after paragraph (c) there is inserted— ca to give a live link direction under section 22(4); . Part 6 Supplemental Orders and regulations 49 1 Subsections (2) to (5) apply to any power to make an order or regulations that is conferred by this Act on— a the Secretary of State, or b the Registrar General, ... c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
