ie schooling or employment in the community without undue disruption. A similar arrangement is made for those under a care and protection order.
53. When an offender is committed to a residential institution by virtue of a reformatory school order; or as a condition of the probation order, he will undergo a programme of training comprising a half day educational programme and a half day vocational training in addition to counselling, hobby groups, social and recreational activities. Progress on each individual resident is closely monitored to ensure that the offender will be released, as soon as he is ready, to a placement in school or useful employment and that he will continue to be under supervision until the respective order expires.
54. The Community Services Orders Ordinance enacted in November 1984 provides the courts with the facility to order criminal offenders ayed 14 or over to be required to perform work of benefit to the community in place of, or in addition to, other sentences, and for incidental matters. A community service order will only be made in the light of a probation officer's assessment of the suitability of the offender for such an order, and proper counselling will subsequently take place with a view to keeping the offender away from crime. Should an offender fail to carry out the work commitment under the order, he would be liable to be dealt with by the courts in any way which would otherwise have been possible when the original order was made.
55. The Rehabilitation of Offenders Ordinance enacted in 1986 facilitates the rehabilitation of persons convicted of minor offences who have not been reconvicted for 3 years by prohibiting generally, the disclosure of the conviction and using it to prejudice a person in the field of employment.
