CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 137

137.(1) The managers of any school intended for the education and training of
persons to be sent there in pursuance of this Act may apply to the Ministry to
approve the school for that purpose, and the Ministry may, after making such
inquiries as it thinks fit, approve the school for that purpose and issue a
certificate of approval to the managers.

A school so approved is in this Act referred to as a "training school".

(2) If at any time the Ministry is dissatisfied with the condition or
management of a training school or considers its continuance as a
training school unnecessary, or if it appears to the Ministry that the
managers have failed to comply with any direction given to them by
the Ministry under paragraph 3 of Schedule 5, the Ministry may by notice
served on the managers either

(a)withdraw the certificate of approval of the school as from a date specified
in the notice, not being less than six months after the date of the notice (in
which event, upon the date so specified, unless the notice is previously
revoked, the withdrawal of the certificate shall take effect and the school
shall cease to be a training school); or

(b)prohibit the admission of persons to the school for such time as may be
specified in the notice, or until the notice is revoked.

(3) The managers of a training school ... may, on giving six months' notice in
writing to the Ministry of their intention so to do, surrender the certificate
of approval of the school, and at the expiration of six months from the date
of the notice (unless the notice is previously revoked), the surrender of the
certificate shall take effect, and the school shall cease to be a
training school.

(4) No person shall in pursuance of this Act be received into the care of the
managers of a training school after the date of the receipt by the managers of
the school of a notice of withdrawal of the certificate of approval of the
school or after the date of a notice of intention to surrender the certificate
unless, in either case, the notice has been revoked; but the obligations of
the managers with respect to persons under their care at the respective dates
aforesaid shall continue until the withdrawal or surrender takes effect.

(5) The Ministry shall cause any grant of a certificate of approval of a
training school, and any notice of the withdrawal of, or intention to
surrender, such a certificate, to be advertised in the Belfast Gazette within
one month from the date thereof, and, where a notice of withdrawal of, or of
intention to surrender, such a certificate is so published, shall cause any
revocation of the notice to be published in like manner.[
