Segregation—safety and security(1) The director-general may direct that a young detainee be segregated from other young detainees if the director-general believes on reasonable grounds that the segregation is necessary or prudent to ensure—
(a) the safety of anyone else at a detention place; or
(b) security or good order at a detention place.
(2) When making a direction under this section, the director-general must also have regard, as far as practicable, to any relevant cultural consideration and the likely impact of segregation on the health or wellbeing of the young detainee.
(3) The director-general must revoke the direction if the director-general believes on reasonable grounds that the protection mentioned in subsection (1) is no longer necessary or prudent.
