average time spent out-of-room each day by children and young people at Oakhill Secure
Training Centre in February 2024 was 13 hours. As information about Oakhill Secure
Training Centre is collated on a different basis from information about young offender
institutions, it is not possible to provide the requested breakdown between weekdays
and weekends.</p><p>We know the importance of ensuring that time in custody is purposeful
and are committed to ensuring that children and young people have the necessary and
appropriate access to education, skills, and work provision with a consistent daily
programme of activities.</p><p>The Youth Custody Service is reviewing regime models
and staff deployment to maximise time out of room, creating as open a regime as it
is safe to do so, as well as providing education and enrichment for those who cannot
safely be in a classroom setting. Additionally, work done to reduce conflict and
manage behaviour, to increase the size of groups who are mixing in the regime, has
increased time out of room.</p>
