<p>The Youth Custody Service (YCS) is dedicating the resources needed to achieve consistent
delivery of custody support plans (CuSP) to children and young people in the secure
estate, enabling staff to spend the time they need with children to improve relationships,
with in-depth support sessions, working on progression, goals and behaviour.</p><p>The
YCS is delivering training to all Band 3 and 4 operational staff to ensure they are
appropriately skilled to implement and review CuSP. A CuSP officer is being allocated
to each child entering custody during the induction process, to provide consistent
adult support through the child’s custody journey.</p><p>The YCS is also improving
oversight of CuSP through monthly management meetings, which will communicate information
on emerging risks, and ensure accountability for delivery, through scrutiny of data.</p><p>In
accordance with the YCS’s improvement plan (the “CuSP ladder”), HMYOI Wetherby plans
to increase delivery of CuSP across the year, and will ensure that CuSP sessions are
held following significant events.</p>
