Dear Ministry of Justice,

Could you please tell me at what age persons held in Juvenile or
Young Offenders' establishments are require to work, as opposed to
education.

Is there a limit on the number of hours any particular age may be
required to work?

What types of work are such people, under the age of 18, required
to do?

Yours faithfully,

Paul W Sullivan

Dear Mr Sullivan,
Thank you for your correspondence of 31st August 2010, in which have
requested to information under the Freedom of information act to the
Ministry of Justice for the following.

I was asking at what age persons held on Juvenile Centres or YOIs
are 'required' to work - rather than education.

The Freedom of Information Act (2000) gives individuals and organisations
the right of access to all types of recorded information held, at the time
the request is received, by public authorities such as the Ministry of
Justice (MoJ). Section 84 of the Act states that in order for a request
for information to be handled as a Freedom of Information (FOI) request,
it must be for recorded information. For example, a Freedom of Information
request would be for a copy of an HR policy, rather than an explanation as
to why we have that policy in place.

On occasion, Data Access and Compliance Unit receives requests for
information that do not ask for a copy of recorded information, but ask
more general questions about, for example, a policy or a decision. In
these instances, another business unit would handle the enquiry. I have
assessed your correspondence and since it is of that nature, I have passed
on your request to the Ministerial Correspondence Unit who will ensure
that you receive a response. You can contact them at
[email address]

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. If you have any questions about
Freedom of Information please do not hesitate to contact us.
