The latest information on the number of young people held on remand is provided at Table 3.3 at the following link: Youth_Custody_Population_Report_-_Feb_-_25.ods.

It is not possible, without incurring disproportionate cost, to disaggregate these data to show how many of the young people were awaiting trial.
