[Closing 16 November 2012]
The youth remand provisions in the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 received Royal Assent on 1 May 2012 and allows for local authorities to be given greater financial responsibility for secure remand.
In this consultation paper the Ministry of Justice and the Youth Justice Board set out their proposals:
- for allocating new burdens funding to local authorities in England & Wales in relation to remands to youth detention accommodation;
- for recovery of the costs of remands to youth detention accommodation in England & Wales;
- in relation to the costs of escorting remanded children to and from youth detention accommodation; and
- allocating new burdens funding to local authorities in England & Wales in relation to the treatment of all children remanded to youth detention accommodation as looked after children.
