If, without reasonable excuse, you do anything you are prohibited from doing by the order or you fail to comply with the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 you shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years.

And the defendant, who was a relevant offender within the meaning of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 immediately before the making of this order, but who would otherwise cease to be subject to the notification requirements of the said Part 2 while this order has effect, shall remain subject to the notification requirements for the duration of this order as renewed from time to time.]

     Justice of the Peace

     [Justices' Clerk]

NOTE:One of the requirements of a sexual offences prevention order is that you (the defendant) will be subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. (Unless you are already subject to these requirements and have complied), these requirements include an obligation on you to report to a prescribed police station within 3 days of the service of this order and to notify the police of your name(s), home address, date of birth and National Insurance number. Thereafter you are obliged to notify the police of:

     any changes to your name or home address (within 3 days of the change)

     any address you stay at or plan to stay at in addition to your home address for a period of 7 days or more within a twelve month period (within 3 days)

     any plans you have to travel abroad for a period of 3 days or longer (if you know the details 7 days or more before you travel you must inform the police no less than 7 days in advance. Otherwise you must inform the police no less than 24 hours in advance).

Your local Police Service Headquarters will be able to explain these conditions in more detail - in particular the information you must bring with you when you make your initial notification - and tell you at which local police station you should attend.

The restrictions in this order apply throughout the United Kingdom (England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).

If, without reasonable excuse, you do anything you are prohibited from doing by this order or you fail to comply with the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 you shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years.

[OR where the defendant is already subject to the notification requirements on the making of this order:

And the defendant, who was a relevant offender within the meaning of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 immediately before the making of this order, but who would cease to be subject to the notification requirements of the said Part 2 while this order has effect, shall remain subject to the notification requirements for the duration of this order.]

     Justice of the Peace

     [Justices' Clerk]

NOTE: One of the requirements of an interim sexual offences prevention order is that you (the defendant) will be subject to the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003. (Unless you are already subject to these requirements and have complied), these requirements include an obligation on you to report to a prescribed police station within 3 days of the service of this order and to notify the police of your name(s), home address, date of birth and National Insurance number. Thereafter you are obliged to notify the police of:

     any changes to your name or home address (within 3 days of the change)

     any address you stay at or plan to stay at in addition to your home address for a period of 7 days or more within a twelve month period (within 3 days)

     any plans you have to travel abroad for a period of 3 days or longer (if you know the details 7 days or more before you travel you must inform the police no less than 7 days in advance. Otherwise you must inform the police no less than 24 hours in advance).

Your local Police Service Headquarters will be able to explain these conditions in more detail - in particular the information you must bring with you when you make your initial notification - and tell you at which local police station you should attend.

The restrictions in this order apply throughout the United Kingdom (England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).

If, without reasonable excuse, you do anything you are prohibited from doing by this order or you fail to comply with the notification requirements of Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 you shall be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years.
