Part 2: Knife Crime Prevention Orders Section 20: Requirement to consult on application for order under section 19
Section 20 imposes a formal requirement for the prosecution to consult with the local youth offending team ("YOT") before making an application for a KCPO on conviction if the defendant is under the age of 18 (subsection (2)). The consultation requirement does not give a veto power to the local YOT.
