One third of children held in pre-trial imprisonment (remand) in England and Wales are from London. Following a conference hosted by Transform Justice in September 2021 and subsequent conversations, this guide brings together best practice for reducing the use of custodial remand for children from across London. The guide outlines how to scrutinise the police decision to remand children; improve the bail offer; tackle disproportionality; build strategic relationships with police and courts, and more. If you have additional examples of good practice of how you’re reducing the remand of children in your borough contact us at [email protected] to tell us more.
