forthwith report to the probation officer or volunteer probation officer;
notify the probation officer or volunteer probation officer of any change of address;
perform for the number of hours specified in the order such work at and such times as he may be instructed by the probation officer or volunteer probation officer; and
perform that work in a satisfactory manner.
Subject to section 16, the work required under a community service order shall be performed within one year from the date of the order.
The order shall, unless revoked by the court, remain in force until the probationer has performed the required work for the number of hours specified in it.
The instructions given under subsection (1)(c) shall, so far as practicable, be such as to avoid any conflict with the probationer’s religious beliefs and any interference with the times at which he usually works or attends any educational establishment.
