Restraint should only be used as a last resort, when young people are putting their own safety and the safety of others at risk.</p><p>In 2012, we introduced the Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR). Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons has welcomed the significant improvements that MMPR has brought.</p><p>The number of minor and serious injuries requiring medical treatment resulting from RPIs is published in Chapter 8 of the Youth Justice Annual Statistics:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/youth-justice-annual-statistics-2014-to-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/youth-justice-annual-statistics-2014-to-2015</a></p><p>We are investigating the accuracy of all restraint injury data from Medway Secure Training Centre.</p><p>The number of young people that establishments recorded as injured during incidents that required Restrictive Physical Intervention in each institution in the youth secure estate in each of the last eight years is set out in the attached document. This includes the following categories of injury: (i) serious injury requiring hospital treatment (ii) minor injuries requiring medical treatment and (iii) minor injuries, no treatment required.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 06/04/2016 14:44:19 question first ministerially corrected 08/04/2016 09:51:59 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous attachment 1 file name Number of injuries sustained by children during restraint.xls title injuries sustained by children during restraint previous answer version 54110 answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/04/2016 answer text <p>Violence in prisons has increased in recent years. These figures demonstrate that the Prime Minister and the Justice Secretary are right and out prisons badly need reform.</p><p> </p><p>We are already trialling the use of body worn cameras in prisons, training sniffer dogs to detect new psychoactive substances and have made it an offence to smuggle new psychoactive substances into prison. However, ultimately the only way to reduce violence in our prisons is to give governors and those who work in prisons the tools necessary to more effectively rehabilitate offenders.</p><p> </p><p>Hostage incidents are rare occurrences. The table attached provides details of hostage incidents, broken down by establishment and victim type.</p><p> </p><p>Note: These figures have been drawn from the NOMS Incident Reporting System. Care is taken when processing and analysing the returns but the detail collected is subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system. Although the figures are shown to the last case the figures may not be accurate to that level.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 06/04/2016 15:25:57 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous attachment 1 file name 28152 - table.xlsx title Hostage incidents in Prison - 2010 - 2016
