Where a CPO consists only of unpaid work, then the disclosure period is the length of the order if the work is to be carried out for longer than 12 months, (or longer than 6 months if under 18 at date of conviction). However, if the unpaid work lasts for less than 12 months, (or less than 6 months if under 18 at date of conviction), then the disclosure period will be 12 months from the date of conviction or 6 months from date of conviction if under 18 at date of conviction. 156.
