69(1)Article 13 (remand in custody) is amended as follows.
(2)In paragraph (1), for the words after “open court” substitute “and—
(a)if the child has not attained the age of 14, shall make an order committing him to secure accommodation provided by or on behalf of the appropriate authority;
(b)if the child has attained the age of 14 but has not attained the age of 17, shall (subject to paragraph (1A)) make an order committing him to a juvenile justice centre; and
(c)if the child has attained the age of 17, shall (subject to paragraph (1B)) make an order committing him to a young offenders centre.”
(3)After that paragraph insert—
“(1A)In the case of a child who has attained the age of 15 but has not attained the age of 17 the court shall make an order committing him to a young offenders centre (and not an order committing him to a juvenile justice centre) if it considers that he is likely to injure himself or another person.
(1B)In the case of a child—
(a)who has attained the age of 17 but who, at the time of the court’s first decision in respect of the offence in question not to release him on bail, has not attained the age of 17 years and six months; and
(b)who has not had a custodial sentence imposed on him within the last two years,
the court shall make an order committing him to a juvenile justice centre (and not an order committing him to a young offenders centre) if, after considering a report made by a probation officer, it considers that it is in his best interests to make such an order.
(1C)An order under this Article shall commit the child for the period for which he is remanded or until he is brought back before the court.”
