<p>The safety of all those in our custodial estate, including young female offenders
is a key priority.</p><p>Girls currently make up less than 1% of children and young
people within the youth estate which has a range of mixed gender settings. In HMYOI
Wetherby, girls live separately from boys but attend education and activities together,
as occurs in the community.</p><p>Girls in the youth estate can communicate trauma-related
stress through internalising behaviours such as self-harming. Professionals work hard
to deliver effective care.</p><p>The YCS is further developing gender-responsive guidance
and training both at HMYOI Wetherby and for the wider youth estate.</p>
