answer text <p>Starring up is the term used to define the process whereby young people under the age of 18 can be moved into the young adult estate prior to their eighteenth birthday. The starring up process can be used for a range of reasons, but past usage has mainly been in relating to the management of disruptive or violent behaviour or transfers to Mother and Baby Units.</p><br /><p>In practice, the starring up process is rarely used and then only in exceptional circumstances.</p><br /><p>No young person has been starred-up into the young adult estate since January 2014. Data in relation to the number of young people who were starred-up into the young adult estate in the three years prior to that, broken down by the establishment they were starred-up from and the month in which the decision was made is provided in the tables below.</p><br /><p>2011</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>Jan</p></td><td><p>Feb</p></td><td><p>Mar</p></td><td><p>Apr</p></td><td><p>May</p></td><td><p>Jun</p></td><td><p>Jul</p></td><td><p>Aug</p></td><td><p>Sep</p></td><td><p>Oct</p></td><td><p>Nov</p></td><td><p>Dec</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashfield</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hindley</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wetherby</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>2012</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>Jan</p></td><td><p>Feb</p></td><td><p>Mar</p></td><td><p>Apr</p></td><td><p>May</p></td><td><p>Jun</p></td><td><p>Jul</p></td><td><p>Aug</p></td><td><p>Sep</p></td><td><p>Oct</p></td><td><p>Nov</p></td><td><p>Dec</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Feltham</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Eastwood Park</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Warren Hill</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>2013</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>Jan</p></td><td><p>Feb</p></td><td><p>Mar</p></td><td><p>Apr</p></td><td><p>May</p></td><td><p>Jun</p></td><td><p>Jul</p></td><td><p>Aug</p></td><td><p>Sep</p></td><td><p>Oct</p></td><td><p>Nov</p></td><td><p>Dec</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Warren Hill</p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table><br />
