Section 49: Persons detained in youth accommodation: application of provisions

126.Under section 562 of the Education Act 1996, functions of LEAs, the Secretary of State, the Welsh Ministers and parents under the Education Act 1996 (and those Education Acts read as one with that Act) do not apply in relation to persons detained pursuant to a court order or an order of recall of the Secretary of State.

127.Section 49 reverses the effect of section 562 for children and young people detained in relevant youth accommodation. Therefore, functions of LEAs, the Secretary of State, the Welsh Ministers and parents under those Acts will generally apply towards such persons detained pursuant to a court order or an order of recall of the Secretary of State in relevant youth accommodation.

128.New section 562(3) clarifies that section 562 does not operate in relation to children and young people who are kept in secure accommodation under section 25 of the Children Act 1989 (which could be for welfare reasons or to protect themselves or others from injury.)

129.This section applies to England and Wales.
