Clause 71

Where in any case, from the gravity of the offence for which any child or young person may be in custody or for any other reason, the manager of the place where the child or young person is detained considers it to be desirable to take special measures for the security of the child or young person while under treatment in an approved hospital, it shall be lawful for the manager to give the child or young person into the charge of not less than two fit and proper persons, one of whom at the least shall always be with the child or young person day and night, and those persons shall be vested with full power and authority to do all things necessary to prevent the child or young person from escaping, and shall be answerable for his safe custody until such time as he is handed over to the manager on his discharge from the approved hospital or until such time as his period of detention expires, whichever is earlier.
