Conditional bail

A court will remand a young person on conditional bail to ensure that the young person attends court on the next occasion, does not reoffend whilst on bail and does not interfere with witnesses or obstruct the course of justice.

Conditional bail can range from a fairly low level where a young person has to report to a police station to much more demanding levels where the young person is supervised by a Youth Offending Team (Yot) on a bail support and supervision programme. Yots can include electronic tagging and/or Intensive Supervision and Surveillance Programme (ISSP) as part of bail supervision and support programmes.
