Article 10 Admissions and discharges

Subject to the foregoing provisions of these Rules, no hostel shall, except with the consent of the Secretary of State, refuse to accept a person who is under the supervision of a probation officer and is required by a probation order to reside therein or who has been released on bail on condition that he resides therein, and who falls within the category of persons for which the hostel is approved.

The committee shall adopt an admissions policy in relation to each hostel managed by it and shall notify the courts for the area in which the hostel is situated of that policy.

The admissions policy in relation to a hostel which is not provided and carried on by a probation committee shall be subject to approval by the probation committee in whose area the hostel is situated.

“Admissions policy”, in relation to a hostel, means the policy as to the category or categories of persons whom the committee considers suitable for admission to that hostel.
