A court shall make an order under paragraph (e) of section 20(2), an "attendance order", in accordance with subsections (2) to (5).
The aggregate number of hours for which an attendance order may require a young person to attend at the premises specified in the order shall not be less than ten and shall not exceed fifty.
A court may make an attendance order in respect of a young person before a previous attendance order made in respect of that person has ceased to have effect, and may determine the number of hours to be specified in the order without regard —
to the number of hours specified in the previous order; or
to the fact that the previous order is still in effect.
An attendance order shall not be made unless the court is satisfied that the premises at which the young person is required to attend are reasonably accessible to that person , having regard to that person's age, the means of access available to that person and any other circumstances.
The times at which a young person is required to attend premises under an attendance order shall be such as to avoid interference, so far as practicable, with that person's school hours; and the times during which that person's attendance is so required shall be specified in the order.
