answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2022 answer text <p>Although it is difficult to predict demand in the forthcoming years, overall demand in the Youth Secure Estate has fallen in the past two years, largely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the removal of restrictions and with the Government’s commitment to recruit 20,000 additional police officers by 2023, we expect to see demand steadily rise, although there is significant uncertainty associated with this. Despite this anticipated higher demand for places, we are confident there will still be capacity to place the increased numbers of children and young people into custody in the next five years with children placed according to their individual needs.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 16/05/2022 16:09:46 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>The safety and welfare of young people held in custody is our highest priority. It is our policy that physical restraint should only be used where there is no other suitable alternative and that staff should first utilise behaviour management techniques that focus on de-escalation and diversion. When restraint is used, we are clear that must be it must always be reasonable, necessary, and proportionate in the circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Data on the use of physical restraint at secure settings in the secure youth estate is published in the Youth Justice annual statistics. Information on rates of incidents of Restrictive Physical Intervention (RPI) by gender and the numbers of injuries requiring medical treatment as a result of an RPI are included in supplementary tables 8.6 and 8.7 respectively. Whilst there has been a significant reduction in the overall number of children in custody, girls, although accounting for a smaller proportion of children, present with particularly challenging and vulnerable needs. The latest publication covers the period from 2015 to 2021, and data for years 2010 to 2015 is included in the statistics for 2014 to 2015. The series can be accessed via the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/youth-justice-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/youth-justice-statistics</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Since June 2020, the Youth Custody Service has been working on revisions to the existing restraint syllabus which is used in Young Offender Institutions and Secure Training Centres. It will be piloted followed by a wider roll-out once the pilot scheme has been evaluated.</p><p> </p><p>These revisions represent a significant change for the YCS, as the focus of the new syllabus will be on the positive behaviour management of children in our care. The new syllabus seeks to enhance the ability of staff to manage and de-escalate behaviour, wherever possible, in a child centred manner and reinforce good behaviour.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 149273 149274 question first answered 19/04/2022 10:57:34 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
