<p>In 2022-23 no females were held in spaces intended as male-only, which remained
the case on 23 May 2023.</p><p>Girls committed into custody will be located in Secure
Children's Homes, Oakhill Secure Training Centre, or Wetherby Young Offenders Institution,
depending on their specific circumstances. All are mixed-gender settings, and girls
may mix with boys in education and other activities, where appropriate. Youth Custody
Service staff are trained to work with girls in a gender-responsive way, and regimes,
services, activities, and interventions are tailored to meet their individual needs.</p><p>Where
girls are placed into units which previously housed boys only, significant work is
done to refurbish and ensure the environment is appropriate.</p>
