Young Offender Institutions: Labour Turnover
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the turnover of main governors in Young Offender Institutes.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The turnover of Governing Governors in Young Offender Institutions in the youth estate has stabilised over the last two years. The average time in post is similar to that in the adult estate. Support arrangements, such as Guided Reflective Practice for Senior leaders, are in place to improve retention of senior Governors working in the challenging environment. The recruitment of Governors has improved, with the most recent campaign receiving a large number of suitable applications.
