Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

These Rules make provision for the management of young offender institutions, including the treatment of inmates, the conduct of young offender institution officers, and the powers and duties of the boards of visitors. They revoke and replace the Young Offender Institution Rules 1988, as amended.

The provisions of the new Rules generally re-enact those of the previous Rules. However, certain minor changes have been made to the latter. Among these are the inclusion of rule 2(3) in relation to interpretation of rule numbers and the inclusion of rule 89 which deals with revocations and savings in relation to disciplinary proceedings. In addition to these changes, rule 80 of the Young Offender Institution Rules 1988 (transitionals) has been omitted as obsolete.
