CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 89

Extension of period of detention in training schools.

89.(1) A person sent to a training school shall after the period of his
detention be under the supervision of the managers of his school for a period
of three years or until he attains the age of twenty-one, whichever may be the
shorter period.

(2) Where a person is released from a training school on licence and is not
recalled, any period of supervision immediately following the period of his
release on licence shall be reduced so that the aggregate of the period of
release on licence and the period of supervision will not exceed three years,
unless that person requests the managers of the school to extend the period of
supervision to the full period applicable in his case under subsection (1).

(3) The managers of a training school may, and, if the Minister so directs,
shall, by notice in writing recall to the school any person under their
supervision who is at the date of the recall under the age of nineteen, but
the managers shall not recall, and the Minister shall not direct them to
recall, any person under this subsection unless, in the opinion of the
managers or, as the case may be, the Minister, it is necessary in his
interests to recall him, nor shall the managers recall, or the Minister direct
the recall of, any person during any extended period of his supervision under
subsection (2).

(4) A person who has been so recalled shall be released as soon as the
managers think that he can properly be released, and shall in no case be
detained

(a)after the expiration of a period of three months or such longer period not
exceeding six months as the Minister may, after considering the circumstances
of his case direct; or

(b)after attaining the age of nineteen.

(5) The managers shall forthwith notify the Ministry of the recall of any
person who is recalled by them under subsection (3) otherwise than in
pursuance of a direction of the Minister's, and shall state the reasons for
his recall, and when the managers release any person so recalled they shall
forthwith notify the Ministry that they have done so.

(6) For the purposes of this Act a person who is out under supervision from a
training school shall be deemed to be under the care of the managers of the
school.
