PROBATION ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND)1950 - SECT 14

Duties of probation officers.

14.(1) It shall be the duty of probation officers to supervise the persons
placed under their supervision and to advise, assist and befriend those
persons, to enquire in accordance with any direction of the court into the
circumstances or home surroundings of any person with a view to assisting the
court in determining the most suitable method of dealing with him, and to
perform such other duties as may be prescribed or imposed by or under any
enactment or as the Ministry may from time to time direct.

(2) Where any offender (being a person under twenty-one years of age) is dealt
with under the provisions of section one of this Act and is subsequently
committed to a training school under the Children and Young Persons Act
(Northern Ireland), 1950, or to a Borstal Institution, the probation officer
who supervises the case shall send such documents and information relating to
the case as he considers likely to be of assistance to the managers of the
school or the governor of the Borstal Institution as the case may be.

(3) A probation officer may give to persons under his supervision [or to any
other person in connection with whom he is required to perform any duties]
such financial or other assistance as the Ministry may with the consent of
the Ministry of Finance approve.
