What is a Parenting Order?
A parenting orders can be given to the parents/carers of young people who offend, truant or who have received a Child Safety Order, Anti-Social Behaviour Order or Sex Offender Order.
It lasts for 3 months, but can be extended to 12 months. It does not result in the parent/carer getting a criminal record. A parent/carer who receives a parenting order will be required to attend counselling or guidance sessions. They may also have conditions imposed on them such as attending their child's school, ensuring their child does not visit a particular place unsupervised or ensuring their child is at home at particular times.
A failure to fulfil the conditions can be treated as a criminal offence and the parent/carer can be prosecuted. Further details on sentences for youth offenders can be found at the Youth Justice Board website.
