Section 58 amends the SCA 2007 to provide that all SCPOs made in England and Wales automatically impose a prescribed set of notification requirements. When someone is subject to notification requirements, they must provide the police or applicant authorities with certain information, such as their home address or email address. This information allows the police and other authorities to monitor an offender and to manage any ongoing risk that they pose.
	Under sections 1, 5 and 19 of the SCA 2007, SCPOs can include any requirements which the court considers appropriate for the purpose of protecting the public by preventing, restricting, or disrupting involvement by the person concerned in serious crime. Section 58 standardises the information received and recorded by law enforcement agencies in relation to those subject to an SCPO – both individual persons and bodies corporate. This will provide continuity in the management of persons subject to an SCPO, particularly as they move between different geographical areas, or between different stages of the criminal justice system, such as between custody and being on licence in the community.
	Subsection (2) inserts new section 15A into the SCA 2007.
	New section 15A sets out the requirement that each SCPO must specify an authority to whom notifications under new Schedule 1A of the SCA 2007 are given. The authorities to which notifications can be given in England and Wales are those detailed in section 8(1)(a) of the SCA 2007 (as amended by section 57 of the Act).
	Subsection (3) inserts new Schedule 1A into Schedule 1 of the SCA 2007.
	Paragraph 1 (1) to (4) of new Schedule 1A relate to bodies corporate as opposed to individuals.
	Paragraph 1(1) sets out the requirement for a body corporate that is subject to an SCPO to identify a person responsible for communicating with the specified authority on behalf of the body, and to notify the specified authority of this person’s identity within three days of the SCPO coming into force. The individual appointed must be a person who has provided their continued consent to act on behalf of the relevant body and must not themselves be subject to an SCPO.
	Paragraph 1(3) and (4) requires the relevant body to notify the specified authority of the name of a replacement individual who is authorised to communicate with the specified authority on behalf of the body if the named person changes.
	Paragraph 2(1) to (6) of new Schedule 1A relates to individuals as opposed to bodies corporate.
	Paragraph 2(1) and (2) details the notification requirements for individuals (including a partner in a partnership) subject to an SCPO. The person subject to the SCPO must provide the notifiable information to the specified authority within three days of the day on which the order comes into force. Paragraph 2(2) sets out the requirement for persons who are subject to an SCPO, to notify the specified authority of any change in the notifiable information set out in paragraph 2(5) within the period of three days, beginning with the day that change occurs.
	Paragraph 2(3) provides for notification requirements where more than one SCPO is in force at the same time. This sub-paragraph sets out an exception whereby if a person is subject to an SCPO with notification requirements, and a second SCPO comes into force which would require the same notifications to be given to the same specified authority, the person does not need to provide the notified information twice. A person will therefore not be subject to multiple notification requirements to the same specified authority at the same time. Sub-paragraph (4) sets out that if an SCPO ceases to be in force, but another SCPO remains in force, the notification requirements of the second SCPO will apply.
	Paragraph 2(5) details the notifiable information, which includes the person’s name (including aliases) and address; the person’s telephone numbers and e-mail addresses; usernames the person uses to access social media, or that identify the person on social media; names used to access online video games with messaging functionality, or that identify the person on these games; identifying information of relevant motor vehicles; specified financial information; specified information about identification documents; and the name and address of the person’s employers. Sub-paragraph (5)(j) allows for the Secretary of State to add prescribed notification requirements via regulations. Sub-paragraph (6) defines the meaning of the various notification requirements under sub-paragraph (5).
	A person will commit an offence if they do not provide the required notified information to the specified authority set out in the SCPO within the required timeframe without reasonable excuse, or knowingly providing false information. A person will also commit an offence by not updating the required notified information to the police within the required timeframe without reasonable excuse, or knowingly providing false information. The maximum penalty on summary conviction in England and Wales is imprisonment for the general limit in a magistrates’ court (currently six months), an unlimited fine, or both. Paragraph 3 of new Schedule 1A creates these offences in England and Wales.
	Subsection (4) amends section 10 of the SCA 2007, which sets out notice requirements in relation to orders, to specify that the requirements imposed on a person are to be treated as terms of the SCPO for the purposes of 10(1)(b) and sections 30(1), 31(4) and 32(3) of the SCA 2007. These subsections all pertain to the serving of a notice setting out terms of the order, and these amendments are to ensure the requirements in section 15 of the SCA 2007 are duly captured.
	Subsections (5) and (6) make consequential amendments to the SCA 2007 to take account of new section 15A.
	Subsection (7) introduces Schedule 2, which makes consequential amendments to the SCA 2007.
