(1) A child who is arrested or apprehended under the Bail Act 2013 for a failure, or threatened failure, to comply with a bail acknowledgment or bail condition, and who is to be detained before being taken before a court, must be detained in a detention centre rather than in a police station.

(2) Despite subsection (1), the child may be detained in a police station before being taken before a court if it is impracticable for the child to be detained in a detention centre before being taken before the court.

(3) A child who is detained in a police station under subsection (2) must, so far as is reasonably practicable, be detained separately from any adults detained there.

(4) While a child is detained in a detention centre under this section, the child is taken to be a person on remand for the purposes of this Act.
