If you are a child or young person who has been arrested, the court can still decide to grant you bail. This is because section 238 does not limit the powers of the High Court or other laws that allow bail. When you are a child or young person, except if you are charged with murder or manslaughter, the Youth Court makes the decision about bail, not the District Court.

If you want to know more about this, you can look at section 238 which has more information about bail for children and young people. The rules about bail are also in other laws, and these laws still apply to you. The court will follow these laws when deciding whether to grant you bail.
