The Visits to Former Looked After Children in Detention (Wales) Regulations 2011
These Regulations make provision about visiting requirements for children and young people who were looked after by a local authority but have ceased to be so as a result of being detained in an institution, either having been remanded to prison custody or following conviction and sentencing by a court. Those who will have ceased to be looked after will be children and young people who, prior to entering custody, were either provided with accommodation under section 20 of the Children Act 1989 (“the 1989 Act”) or who had been remanded to local authority care under section 23(1) of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 on sentencing.
