These young people will only be looked after for as long as they are on remand, and are likely to leave the care system quickly once their case has been disposed of by the courts.

Because they are likely to be looked after for a short time prior to their remand ending, not all care planning processes will apply.

The Remands into local authority accommodation and youth detention policy and the Remands into local authority care procedures sets out the procedural steps when dealing with these cases as well as guidance on working with the young person to ensure their welfare is safeguarded whilst on remand.
