NORTHERN IRELAND
This Order replaces those provisions of the Children and Young Persons Act (Northern Ireland) 1968 which deal with children and young persons concerned in criminal proceedings (except Part II of that Act which contains some miscellaneous cruelty offences in respect of children). The Order removes the distinction between a child and a young person and defines a child as a person who is under seventeen.
