10. Bail options and rights of juveniles in the justice system
Where bail has been refused by a police officer, the child will be brought before the court as soon as practicable. Most bail conditions are in the form of meeting certain conditions rather than a surety of money. However, conditions imposed cannot be unreasonable or unrealistic. Factors taken into account are education, health and wellbeing and the likely effect of exacerbating problems at home.
