Bail accommodation

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 (external link) 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 applied 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.
