answer text <p>HM Prison and Probation workforce statistics (which contains staffing figures in public sector prisons but not in privately managed prisons) are published quarterly. The figures are broken down by establishment and by prison category including male Young Offender Institutions (YOIs) for those aged 15-17. All staff working with children have to undergo an enhanced DBS check as part of the vetting process before taking up such roles. The latest publication can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hm-prison-and-probation-service-workforce-quarterly-september-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/hm-prison-and-probation-service-workforce-quarterly-september-2018</a></p><p> </p><p>Attached are tables showing the staff numbers at YOIs and details on the numbers of those dismissed or disciplined. Values of 2 or fewer have not been included to avoid the possibility of identification of individuals and to prevent disclosure in accordance with the Data Protection Act, 1998.</p><p> </p><p>In relation to conduct and discipline cases this meant a breakdown of the reasons behind the actions could not be provided due to the very low numbers involved. Please also note that since June 2016 HMPPS has taken over the running of Medway Secure Training Centre and 151 FTE staff transferred in. In September 2017, 59 FTE staff transferred in to the newly created Youth Custody Service.</p><p> </p><p>All prison officers working in under 18 YOIs currently undergo a young person specific and child-centred Prison Officer Entry Level Training (POELT) course. This course incorporates both the Working with Young People in Custody (WYPC) course and Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR) training elements. The structure of the 10 week course allows learners to understand the ethos, values, morals and ethics that are integral to working with young people.</p><p> </p><p>We are introducing a new Youth Justice Specialist role and are providing funding for every Prison Officer in the Youth Custody Service to undertake a distance-learning university-accredited qualification in youth justice so that they can transition them to this role. Supervising Officers will also be funded to undertake this training and transition to the new role on level transfer. All staff undertaking the qualification will be offered the opportunity to continue their study for another year to achieve a full foundation degree, fully-funded by the Youth Custody Service (YCS). There are over 300 frontline staff currently enrolled on this qualification and we will fund 250 places on this qualification per year for staff in the youth secure estate over the next four years. We intend for this to be the new standard training for frontline officers in the YCS by 2023</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The safety and welfare of young people held in custody is one of our highest priorities and is fundamental to the proper functioning of our justice system. We are committed to reforming youth custody so that it is safer for both young people and staff, as well as being better equipped to help young people turn their lives around.</p><p> </p><p>There are some occasions when young people in custody are putting themselves or others at risk, during which segregation can be used as a last resort for limited periods of time when no other form of intervention is suitable. Any decision to remove a young person from association is subject to regular review and a range of safeguarding measures are in place to ensure appropriate oversight of their care. There are careful limits placed on the length of time for which young people can be removed from association without review of the decision to remove. <br /> <br /> Please see the number of hours of segregation that young people have been placed on, broken down via each Young Offender Institute (YOI) within each of the past five years. Please note that the data collected below is classified by the number of hours young people in total have been on segregation in each current YOI establishment. We do not have a breakdown via the number of young people that have been in segregation and nor the number of hours spent per segregation.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="7"><p><strong>No. of Hours young people in 'Segregation' for</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018</strong></p></td><td><p><em>Sub-total</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Cookham Wood</p></td><td><p>744</p></td><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>2392</p></td><td><p>2000</p></td><td><p>2576</p></td><td><p>710</p></td><td><p>10431</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Feltham</p></td><td><p>2232</p></td><td><p>1229</p></td><td><p>1286</p></td><td><p>1139</p></td><td><p>1274</p></td><td><p>279</p></td><td><p>7439</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYIO Parc</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td><td><p>N/A</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Werrington</p></td><td><p>1003</p></td><td><p>1185</p></td><td><p>1732</p></td><td><p>2045</p></td><td><p>1765</p></td><td><p>283</p></td><td><p>8013</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HMYOI Wetherby</p></td><td><p>1578</p></td><td><p>1400</p></td><td><p>1592</p></td><td><p>1589</p></td><td><p>1394</p></td><td><p>263</p></td><td><p>7816</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><em>Sub-Total</em></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">2581</del><ins class="ministerial">5557</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">2585</del><ins class="ministerial">5823</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3324</del><ins class="ministerial">7002</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3634</del><ins class="ministerial">6773</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">3159</del><ins class="ministerial">7009</ins></p></td><td><p><del class="ministerial">546</del><ins class="ministerial">1535</ins></p></td><td><p><strong><del class="ministerial">15829</del><ins class="ministerial">33699</ins></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong>Notes</strong></p><ul><li>This is unpublished data that is not in the public domain.</li><li>2018 figures only apply to the months from January to March 2018.</li><li>We have not included data for HMYOI Ashfield, HMYOI Hindley and HMYOI Warren Hill.
