When the court adjourns a case (moves the case to another date),
it will usually decide to remand the young person, particularly
when they are charged with more serious offences.
If the court chooses to remand a young person, it can remand
them:
- on conditional bail
- on unconditional bail
- to local authority accommodation
- to custody (secure remand).
The Youth
Justice Board is working to ensure that remands to custody
are made only on the most serious and persistent young
offenders.
Remanding a young person to local authority accommodation
involves the young person being looked after by the local
authority. As with bail, conditions can be appplied to remands to
local authority accommodation. Unless the type of accommodation is
a condition of the remand, the local authority can choose what type
of accommodation it provides for the young person.
