Secure Authorisations in Scotland's Children's Hearings System

In 2008/09, 225 children and young people had secure authorisations from Children's Hearings - 183 children had secure authorisations made as conditions of Warrants, 164 children had secure authorisations made as conditions of Supervision Requirements.

This research was carried out to obtain information on the implementation of secure authorisations of 100 young people (aged 10 to 16 years), and to follow these young people through the Children's Hearings System looking at the interventions they received and their outcomes.
