This section of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 ensures automatic anonymity for all under-18s involved in Youth Court proceedings.

This law allows bona fide journalists access to Youth Court proceedings.

The legal process of removing anonymity from a young person convicted in Youth Court. You must convince the court it's in the public interest.

The act of removing automatic anonymity in an adult court.

The legal process that prevents the media from publishing the names of young people who are involved in legal proceedings.

This rule states that broadcasters should be cautious about identifying children under 18 involved in legal proceedings.

This clause within the IPSO code encourages journalists to avoid publishing the names of children under 18 who have been arrested before appearing in court, unless there are compelling reasons.

This clause states that children under 16 shouldn't be interviewed or photographed without parental consent on sensitive topics.

Young people under 18 are treated differently than adults in the justice system - those under 10 can't commit a crime, 10-17 are juveniles, and 18+ are adults.

The Children and Young Persons Act 1933 (Section 49) ensures anonymity for all under-18s in Youth Court proceedings.

Journalists and media representatives can attend Youth Court on behalf of the public.

Media reports of Youth Court hearings MUST NOT include the juvenile's name, address, school, workplace, images, or any identifying details.

Anonymity in Youth Court proceedings ends when the defendant turns 18.

Adults involved in Youth Court cases are NOT automatically anonymous. However, reporters must avoid revealing any information that could identify a juvenile involved.

There are four exceptions where identifying juveniles in Youth Court is permitted, including preventing injustice, tracing escapees, ASBI cases, and post-conviction in the public interest.

Guidelines suggest lifting anonymity when a juvenile has persistent or serious offenses, the offense impacts many people, or publicity could prevent further offenses.

Lifting anonymity is NOT in the best interest when it risks harm, the offender is vulnerable, or it reveals the identity of a vulnerable victim.

The Crime (Sentences) Act 1997 allows for lifting anonymity post-conviction in the public interest.

Journalists must argue that highlighting a juvenile's case in the public interest outweighs their right to anonymity.

The court has no power to make an anonymity order for someone who has passed away.

A juvenile defendant who is likely to serve a long sentence may face restrictions on anonymity. The court may argue that the anonymity period is too short to aid rehabilitation in the community.

Multiple news sources reporting on a case, even separately, could ultimately lead to the identification of a person with legal anonymity. Combining pieces of information across outlets can reveal details that would otherwise be protected.

The court weighs the child's welfare against the public interest in serious cases. The public has a right to know about court outcomes, and naming convicted offenders can deter future crimes.

A stronger argument exists for lifting anonymity when a juvenile commits a serious crime. The public interest in knowing about serious offenses outweighs the protection of the offender.

A legal order used in civil courts, including coroner's courts, to prevent the identification of young people involved in a case. The judge decides if the young person needs this protection.

A guideline that emphasizes the importance of considering the well-being of a young person involved in legal proceedings. The court should balance this with the right to open justice.

The right of individuals to be free from intrusion into their private lives. This is a fundamental right protected in human rights law.

The right of freedom of expression, which includes the freedom to report on legal proceedings. This right is essential for a democratic society.

The principle that a court order should not be automatically imposed simply because a young person is involved in the case. There needs to be a genuine reason.

This refers to the fact that courts tend to recognize the different needs of very young juveniles compared to older teenagers. They might need more protection.

The court must weigh the young person's right to privacy (Article 8) against the media's right to report (Article 10). Finding the right balance is crucial.
