Young Offender Institutions: Education

Asked by Ben GoldsboroughLabourMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 18 November 2024UIN 13891

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many children have been kept apart from one another on the way to and from classes in young offenders institutions in each of the last 10 financial years.

Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin

“Keep apart” alerts are recorded on individual young people’s records and are monitored to ensure that they are safely managed when moving between different activities and areas of their respective sites. The Youth Custody Service does not, however, collate information at the level of detail requested.
