person will no longer be eligible to claim benefits.

Stage 7: Special Circumstances
10. Young People who are prisoners or under supervision from Youth Offending Services
This protocol recognizes that young people known to Youth Offending Services can face significant challenges with their
accommodation and family circumstances.
10.1 If a young person is ordered not to return home, there is a risk that they could be remanded in custody if they do not have
an address. In these circumstances Youth Offending Services will be responsible for exploring accommodation options with
the young person, including kinship networks and friends.
