        (c)     subject to this section, vary the order to a non-custodial supervision order.

    (2)     The court must not vary a custodial supervision order to a non-custodial supervision order during the nominal term unless satisfied on the evidence available that the safety of the person subject to the order or members of the public will not be seriously endangered as a result of the release of the person on a non-custodial supervision order.

    (3)     In the case of a forensic patient or forensic resident

        (b)     in deciding an application to vary a custodial supervision order to a non-custodial supervision order, the court must take into account whether or not the forensic patient or forensic resident has complied with any conditions of their extended leave.
