references to “an imminent risk of the young detainee harming himself or herself”. The meaning of “harmful conduct” for this clause is potentially ambiguous, and amendment is necessary to achieve consistency with the criteria in clause 208 (1) (a), which requires the chief executive to believe on reasonable grounds that the segregation is necessary to prevent an imminent risk of the young person harming himself or herself.
