All parole orders must have conditions setting out what you are required to do and what you must not do while on parole.
You should be given a copy of your parole order and conditions in writing before you are released on parole. Your parole officer will monitor whether you are following your parole conditions.
Failure to comply with parole conditions can result in your parole being suspended or cancelled, so it is important that you understand your parole order.
If you are confused about your parole conditions, you should first try speaking to your parole officer.
The following conditions must be included in your parole order and cannot be removed or changed:
The Parole Board can add new parole conditions at any time.
However, any new parole conditions must be justified because they either ensure your good conduct or stop you from committing an offence.
Before amending a parole order, the Board must give you an information notice and a reasonable chance to be heard, unless they have good reasons not to.
You can write to the Parole Board and ask them to amend or remove a condition of your parole order at any time.
When you write to the Board you need to explain why you think the condition is not necessary and why it does not help ensure your good conduct or stop you from committing an offence.
It is possible to challenge decisions about parole conditions through a legal process called judicial review.
Judicial reviews are complex and you should seek legal advice before starting this type of court application. If you would like further information about judicial review of parole decisions, you can contact PLS to request advice or a copy of our factsheet about judicial review.
