Section 66A of the 1998 Act permits an authorised person to give a youth conditional caution to a child or young person, in respect of an offence, if the offender has not previously been convicted of an offence and if each of the five requirements in section 66B of the 1998 Act are met.\nSection 66A of the 1998 Act will be commenced, initially, only in respect of 16 and 17 year olds in specified pilot areas and will come into force on the same day as the code of practice.",
