Young Offender Institutions: Education

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 9 June 2026UIN 5604

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the report by the Children's Commissioner entitled 'The educational journeys of children in secure settings', if she will name the six settings which had been the most recent registered setting for 20% of children in the sample.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

'The educational journeys of children in secure settings’ is an independent report written by the Children’s Commissioner. The Children's Commissioner is an independent person appointed under the provisions of the Children's Act 2004. The department does not hold the underlying data and is therefore unable to confirm the specific settings referenced.
