43 Telephone calls generally
A detainee may request the centre manager (either directly or through a juvenile justice officer employed at the detention centre) to be allowed telephone contact with—
a juvenile justice officer (wherever employed), or
the detainee’s legal practitioner, or
an exempt body.
A juvenile justice officer who receives such a request—
if he or she has the authority to do so, must facilitate such telephone contact as soon as practicable after receiving the request, or
in any other case, must immediately refer the request to the centre manager.
The centre manager must ensure that procedures are in place that facilitate telephone contact in accordance with this clause on the day the request is made or as soon as practicable after that day.
This clause does not prevent the centre manager from authorising telephone contact with persons or bodies not referred to in this clause.
