An attendance order may be discharged on an application by the young person, a probation officer or social worker, made to a youth court; and on such an application the court may, by order, discharge the attendance order.
The power to discharge an attendance order includes power to deal with the young person, for the offence in respect of which the order was made, in any manner in which that person could have been dealt with for that offence by the court which made the order if the order had not been made.
An attendance order may, on the application of the young person, a probation officer or social worker, be varied by a youth court.
The power to vary an attendance order is a power by order —
to vary the times specified in the order during which the young person's attendance is required at the premises so specified; or
to substitute for those premises other premises which the court is satisfied are reasonably accessible to the young person having regard to that person's age, the means of access available to that person and any other circumstances.
