<p>The number of children and young people on remand is available and published monthly
but not split into youth and crown courts.</p><p>The Youth Custody Service are unable
to centrally report the number of children and young people that are on remand on
the basis of their legal status. Legal basis reporting is driven by the most serious
legal basis. Children and young people in custody for multiple matters, including
remand may not be picked up through central reporting. A manual review of records
is required to identify all children and young people who are remanded at any one
time.</p><p>The PQ can only be answered through disproportionate costs due to how
details on children and young peoples legal basis and court proceedings is recorded
on case management systems used across the Youth Secure Estate. Answering the question
in full requires manually searching individual case records.</p>
