Restrictions
on reports
Section
49 of the 1933 Act says that reports of proceedings at a youth
court must not contain :
-
The name, address, or school, or any particulars
leading to the identification of any child or young person
involved in the proceedings as a defendant or witness.
-
Any photograph
of, or including, any such juvenile.
Reporters
need to be careful not to include in a youth court story
anything that could identify a juvenile.
There is nothing to stop adults concerned in youth
court proceedings being named, provided this does not identify
a juvenile. There is a complete ban on naming the juvenile’s
school.
