Anti-social behaviour orders – regulations and training material published

Further to our post on funding for new-style anti-social behaviour orders, the regulations and contract amendments have now been published:

• Criminal Legal Aid (General) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 – amend the scope of criminal proceedings to give effect to the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (replacing anti-social behaviour and sexual offences orders with new ones)
• Civil and Criminal Legal Aid (Remuneration) (Amendment) Regulations 2015 – amend the remuneration regulations to prescribe payment rates for orders under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014
• Crime contract amendment notice
• Civil contract amendment notice and amended specification

They come into force on 23 March 2015. Links on our Resources page. The LAA has also made available a short online training course.
