Regulation 13 Maximum periods of authorisation by court for remanded children

The maximum period for which a court may from time to time authorise a child who has been remanded to local authority accommodation under section 23 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 to be kept in secure accommodation (whether the period is an initial period or a further period) is the period of the remand.

Any period of authorisation in respect of such a child shall not exceed 28 days on any one occasion without further court authorisation.
