The Secure Training Centre (Amendment) Rules 2003
These Rules amend the Secure Training Centre Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/472). The majority of the changes are so that certain provisions apply differently to persons detained in secure training centres who have not been convicted of an offence. Previously, it was not possible for a person who had not been convicted of an offence to be detained in a secure training centre. However, section 133 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (c. 16) amended section 23 of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 (c. 24) so that a person who had been remanded to local authority secure accommodation could be detained in a secure training centre, with the consent of the Secretary of State.
