If you want to ask a court to review a decision to keep a child or young person in secure care, you must tell the manager of the place where they are being kept and anyone else the court says you must tell. You do this by giving them written notice of your application, which is made under section 380. When you give them notice, they have the right to come to court and say what they think about your application.

If someone gets notice of your application, they can come to court and be heard. The court will listen to what they have to say when it makes a decision about your application. This is part of the process when you apply under section 380.

But sometimes the court can make a decision without telling everyone first if it thinks waiting would cause problems. This can happen if the court is satisfied that waiting would cause undue hardship. The court can then review the decision to keep the child or young person in secure care without waiting for everyone to be told.
