Separation Procedure

This procedure is used when a young person or a group of young people need to be separated from the general population in a Youth Justice Centre.

 A young person may be seperated from the general population if it's perceived they:

  • will cause disruption to the Youth Justice Centre, and /or
  • affect the safety of the young people admitted to a Youth Justice Centre.

Separation must only be used if the Standards of Separation can be met, and only in certain situations.

It is considered separation when young people are subject to a centre’s approved separation routine that differs from the centre’s normal routines.
