Can Youth Court cases be in the papers and on radio and TV?
Reporters can come to Youth Court hearings but they’re not allowed to report everything they see and hear. The Youth Court judge must agree before the reporters can publish anything. Reporters mustn’t publish: • the young person’s name, or the names of their parents, guardians or caregivers • the name of the young person’s school • any other name or detail which might give away who the young person is or what school they go to • the name of anyone who makes a complaint against a young person.
