51 Detention of child or young person: local authorities to be notified

After section 39 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (c. 37) insert— Detention of child or young person: local authorities to be notified 39A (1) Subsection (2) applies where a youth offending team becomes aware that— (a) a child or young person has become subject to a detention order and is detained in relevant youth accommodation, or (b) a child or young person who is subject to a detention order has been transferred from one place of accommodation to another which is relevant youth accommodation. (2) The youth offending team must as soon as practicable notify— (a) the home local authority, and (b) the host local authority, of the place where the child or young person is detained. (3) Subsection (4) applies where a youth offending team becomes aware that a person has been released having immediately before release been— (a) subject to a detention order, and (b) detained in relevant youth accommodation. (4) The youth offending team must as soon as practicable notify the following authorities of the release— (a) the home local authority; (b) the host local authority; (c) any other local authority in whose area the youth offending team expects the person to live on release. (5) Nothing in this section requires a youth offending team to notify a local authority of any matter of which the authority is already aware. (6) In this section— “home local authority”, in relation to a child or young person, means the local authority which is the home authority in relation to that person within the meaning of Chapter 5A of Part 10 of the Education Act 1996 (persons detained in youth accommodation); “host local authority”, in relation to a child or young person who is detained in relevant youth accommodation, means the local authority for the area in which that person is detained; “local authority” has the meaning given by section 579(1) of the Education Act 1996; “young person” includes a person who is aged 18; and references in this section to a person subject to a detention order and to relevant youth accommodation have the same meanings as they have in the Education Act 1996 (see section 562(1A) of that Act).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
