Glossary: Curfew requirement (with or without electronic monitoring)

A curfew requirement to a YRO means that the young person must remain in a specified place for the period specified in the order. The order can also specify different periods of curfew on different days.

The curfew period cannot be for less than 2 hours or for more than 12 hours in any day.

A curfew requirement is only available for 6 months starting from the day on which the requirement first takes effect. If the only requirement is a curfew requirement, the maximum duration of the YRO will be 6 months.

Before attaching a curfew requirement to a YRO, the court must first obtain and consider information about the place to be specified in the order including the attitude of those likely to be affected by the enforced presence of the young person.
