questions for the UK portion of the list

[cornerofmadness]

Working on a story set in Leicester and as many British mysteries as I watch, you'd think I know but what color is crime scene tape in England. Screaming yellow like in the States?

And does anyone know what a ward is called in Ireland, as in the Dick Grayson kind of ward. The guardians never adopted the boy but they have been caring for him for years. I wasn't sure if that sort of arrangement would be called a ward or not.

THanks!
