A Youth Rehabilitation Order (YRO) with Intensive Supervision and Surveillance (ISS) is a community order which may be given by a court in relation to an offence which would be serious enough to make a custodial sentence appropriate. The community order must include supervision, curfew and activity of between 90 and 180 days and may include electronic monitoring.

The information requested is not collected centrally. Youth Justice Statistics are published annually, including information of sentencing occasions resulting in a YRO, and the number and type of requirements given to children who received a YRO. This information can be found in the Youth Justice statistics: 2018 to 2019 supplementary tables, Chapter 5 – Sentencing of Children, Table 5.7 https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/youth-justice-statistics
