This guidance document outlines the procedure for transferring to and from hospital under the Mental Health Act 1983 any children or young people detained in custody or remanded in custody. It contains a flow chart, which maps the procedures and processes. Sections are provided on transferring sentenced children and young people (section 47 transfer) and transferring unsentenced children and young people (section 48 transfer). Other areas covered are: an overview of the transfer procedure, the role of primary care trusts; returning a child or young person to custody from hospital; and actions/responsibilities for staff involved in a section 47 or 48 transfer. The guidance differs from the procedure for adults in that, i) parents should be involved as much as possible in decisions about the hospitalisation of their children; and ii) that transfers should be completed within seven days.
