English and Welsh children in conflict with the law in Scotland face a different system to the one in England and Wales. These can include children who are looked after by English Local Authorities who are being placed over the border in placements in Scotland. This may be in a children’s home, secure placements by their local authority or as a result of a Deprivation of Liberty order. (For more on Deprivation of Liberty Orders see YJLC’s Guide 13 – Deprivation of Liberty Orders). It may also be that children who cross over to Scotland, of their own volition come into some conflict with the legal system.
