It must also be completed for any child placed in segregation to await adjudication for longer than four hours. - A member of health care staff must attend and contribute to the segregation review board (this authorises the continuation of segregation for children held under rule 49). Health care staff are expected to comment on and assess the physical, emotional and mental well-being of the child, and whether there are any apparent clinical reasons to advise against the continuation of segregation. Recordings must reflect this ongoing assessment.
