CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 132



132.(1) The Ministry may provide remand homes, and the Ministry may, subject
to the provisions of this section, make arrangements with other bodies or
persons for the provision of such homes.

(2) The Ministry shall not make any such arrangements as aforesaid with any
other body or person unless the Ministry is satisfied that

(a)the premises are in all respects suitable for the purposes of a
remand home; and

(b)the person who will ordinarily have charge of or control over those
premises is a fit and proper person to have the custody and care of children
and young persons.

(3) The Ministry shall establish and maintain a register of remand homes
provided in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section, and in
the register shall set forth in respect of each such home

(a)the situation and postal address of the premises;

(b)particulars of the accommodation provided in the premises;

(c)the number of children or young persons who can be accommodated in the
premises; and

(d)the name of the person ordinarily having charge of or control over the
premises;

(4) The Ministry shall cause remand homes to be inspected, and may make rules
for their inspection, regulation and management, and for the classification,
treatment, employment, discipline and control of persons detained in custody
therein, and for the visitation of such persons from time to time by persons
appointed in accordance with the rules.

[(4A) Rules under subsection (4) may also make provision whereby a person in
custody in a remand home may be temporarily released or may on the ground of
his industry and good conduct be granted such remission as may be prescribed
by the rules.

(4B) On the discharge of a person from a remand home in pursuance of remission
granted under any such rules, the order for his committal to the remand home
shall cease to have effect.]

(5) Where at any time it appears to the Ministry that the conduct of a
remand home is not in accordance with any rules for the time being in force
under subsection (4), or is otherwise unsatisfactory, the Ministry may, after
serving on the person having charge of or control over the premises not less
than twenty-eight days' notice in writing of its proposal so to do, remove the
home from the register.

(6) A person aggrieved by the proposed removal of a remand home from the
register may appeal in accordance with the provisions of section 128; and the
provisions of that section and of Schedule 4 shall have effect for the
purposes of this section as they have effect in relation to voluntary homes.

(7) In the selection of a remand home to which a child or young person is to
be committed regard shall be had to his religious persuasion.

Subs.(8) rep. by 1973 c.53 s.31 sch.5
