The Children (Secure Accommodation) AmendmentRegulations 1995
These Regulations amend the Children (Secure Accommodation) Regulations 1991 (“the principal Regulations”) in connection with the extension of provision of secure accommodation enacted in section 19 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 which amended Schedules 5 and 6 of the Children Act 1989 and removed the power to prohibit the use of certain accommodation as secure accommodation. The principal Regulations are amended to apply the provisions of those Regulations which govern secure accommodation in community homes to secure accommodation in voluntary homes and registered children’s homes (regulations 2 to 5). These Regulations also revoke regulation 18 of the principal Regulations which prohibited the use of accommodation for the purpose of restricting the liberty of children in voluntary homes and registered children’s homes (regulation 6).
