Schedules Schedule 1: Placing children in secure accommodation elsewhere in Great Britain
This schedule makes various amendments to legislation in relation to the placing of children in secure accommodation in Great Britain.
	It amends section 25 of the Children Act 1989 so that it extends to Scotland and allows local authorities in England and Wales to place children in secure accommodation in Scotland. The amendment to section 25 also provides for the enforcement of secure accommodation orders made by the courts of England and Wales in Scotland as it provides authority for secure units in Scotland to restrict liberty under those orders.
	The schedule makes consequential amendments to the Children (Secure Accommodation) Regulations 1991 which now extend to Scotland in part. The amendments extend to Scotland those provisions of the 1991 Regulations that relate to the maximum periods for which a child can be placed and kept in secure accommodation by English local authorities initially, and for which a local authority may thereafter be authorised to place a child by the courts.
	The schedule also makes consequential amendments to the Secure Accommodation (Scotland) Regulations 2013. It disapplies regulation 5 of those regulations in respect of children placed in Scotland under section 25 of the 1989 Act to ensure that there is no substantive difference between the maximum periods provided for in that regulation and the equivalent period provided in the 1991 Regulations. An amendment is also made to regulation 15 of the 2013 Regulations to ensure that the Secretary of State or Welsh Ministers are entitled to relevant records relating to children placed in Scotland on request.
	The schedule lastly makes clarificatory amendments to the Children’s Hearings Scotland Act 2011 (Consequential and Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2013 in order to make clear the basis on which local authorities in Scotland may place children in secure accommodation in England and Wales.
