2. Going back to court

I will know if and when I need to go back to court. Custody staff will organise for me to get there.

If you’re in custody on remand, the judge or magistrates will decide when you need to come back to court.

Your Youth Justice Service (YJS) case manager will tell you the date of your court hearing as early as possible and will tell you if you can re-apply for bail at any time.

You will be able to speak to your lawyer about what’s happening.

Custody staff must get you to court on time. They will arrange for you to travel in a van from custody to the court.

In some cases, you might be able to have your court hearing via video call, without leaving custody.
