Remand

When the court adjourns a case (moves the case to another date), it will usually decide to remand the young person, particularly when they are charged with more serious offences. If the court chooses to remand a young person, it can remand them: on conditional bail, on unconditional bail to departmental accommodation, to custody (secure remand).

Remanding a young person to departmental accommodation involves the young person being Looked After by the department. Conditions can be attached to remands to departmental accommodation as with bail. Unless the type of accommodation is a condition of the remand, the department can choose what type of accommodation it provides for the young person.
