A remand to local authority accommodation is a remand to accommodation provided by or on behalf of a local authority.

A court that remands a child to local authority accommodation must designate the local authority that is to receive the child.
3
That authority must be—
a
in the case of a child who is being looked after by a local authority, that authority, and
b
in any other case, the local authority in whose area it appears to the court that the child habitually resides or the offence or one of the offences was committed.
4
The designated authority must—
a
receive the child, and
b
provide or arrange for the provision of accommodation for the child whilst the child is remanded to local authority accommodation.
5
Where a child is remanded to local authority accommodation, it is lawful for any person acting on behalf of the designated authority to detain the child.
