The purpose of this circular is to remind councils with social services responsibilities (CSSRs) of their responsibilities to young people in custody, including young people who are held in custody on a remand basis.
Although many of the Department of Health's Children and Families functions have transferred to the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), these circulars will continue to be issued in the Local Authority Circular (LAC) series for the foreseeable future.
