A Sexual Harm Prevent Order, or "SHPO", is a civil order which was known as a Sexual Offences Prevention Order, or "SOPO" prior to March 2015.
Orders are tailored to the specifics of the offence(s), but they will often include a requirement not to have any contact with a child under the age of 18 years, or that such contact must be supervised, and/or use of the Internet and social media can also be heavily restricted. Whatever conditions are imposed, they must be justifiable and proportionate to the offences.
Again, this is specific to your order. After the period of the order comes to an end, it becomes spent.
Yes it can, at any time, by making an on notice, written application to the Court which made the original order. If the application is being made within 5 years of the order being made, any changes require the permission of the local Chief Constable.
The application may be covered under the terms of the original legal aid order. Paul J Watson Solicitor's specialist Solicitors undertake these applications under both the legal aid scheme and private funding.
We would need to discuss the specifics of your case with you, as legal aid could be available. Call us on 01642 293427 or send a website enquiry using our contact form, and our Solicitors will call you at a time convenient to you, to discuss this sensitive matter.
