Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Young Offender Institution Rules 1988, as amended, for three main purposes. Firstly, the Rules remove the disciplinary functions of boards of visitors. Transitional provision is made so that boards of visitors have continuing jurisdiction to deal with cases referred to them before the coming into force of these Rules. Secondly, the Rules increase the entitlement of a young offender to receive visits from once every four weeks to twice every four weeks. Thirdly, the Rules abolish the separate disciplinary offence of failing to return to a young offender institution after a period of temporary release, which duplicates, in part, the offence of failing to comply with a condition of release.
