Appeals and applications to the Tribunal
Section 72 - Appeal rights: detained persons

161.Section 72 lists the matters against which a detained person (whether a child or young person) and a detained child’s parent may appeal to the Tribunal. These are broadly equivalent in substance to the appeal rights for children and young persons who are not detained (section 70), but reflect the different duties owed to detained persons.
