Amendments 27 and 32, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Tyler, and supported by the noble Lord, Lord Scriven, to the new sections relating to registers seek to extend the proposed duties on integrated care boards and local authorities so that, when exercising certain existing functions, they seek to ensure the needs of all children and young people can be met without detaining them under Part II of the Act. As drafted, the Bill requires ICBs to establish and maintain a register of anyone it considers to has a learning disability or is autistic and has risk factors for detention, subject to their consent. This already includes children and young people who meet the criteria set out in the clause. It is our intention that the information in the register is to be used to prevent admission of those with a learning disability and autistic people, including children.
