EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Rules amend the Secure Training Centre Rules 1998 (S.I. 1998/472).

Rule 36 empowers the officer in charge of a secure training centre to remove a trainee from association (for such period and in accordance with such procedures as specified in the Rule) where that is necessary to prevent the trainee causing significant harm to himself or another person, or causing significant damage to property. The amendment provides that such removal may also be carried out where that is necessary to ensure good order and discipline.[a]

Rule 38 provides for the use of physical restraint in the circumstances provided for in the Rule, and in accordance with the methods authorised by the Secretary of State. The amendment allows for physical restraint to be used in order to ensure good order and discipline in a Secure Training Centre.
