Paragraph 25 I1
A person who is or has been employed to perform contracted-out functions at a directly managed secure college commits an offence if the person discloses any information—
which the person acquired in the course of the employment, and
which relates to a particular person detained in youth detention accommodation.
It is not an offence under this paragraph for a person to disclose information—
in the course of the person's duty, or
when authorised to do so by the Secretary of State.
A person who commits an offence under this paragraph is liable—
on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years or a fine (or both), and
on summary conviction, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding F1the general limit in a magistrates’ court or a fine (or both).
In relation to an offence committed before section 85 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 comes into force, the reference in sub-paragraph (3)(b) to a fine is to be read as a reference to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum.
