answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2017 answer text <p>As the recent Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) annual report stated, levels of violence within the youth estate are too high. We take these findings extremely seriously and improving safety and reducing violence in custody is my highest priority.</p><p> </p><p>Following the Government’s response to Charlie Taylor’s review of the youth justice system, a new Youth Custody Service has been created to focus on performance in the Youth Secure Estate and a Youth Justice Reform Programme has been established. The aims of the programme are to improve standards by making youth custody a place of safety, both for children and those who work there; and to improve the life chances of children in custody.</p><p> </p><p>We are investing £64 million to entrench the reform of youth custody. Construction is already underway on the first in a series of new specialised units for the most vulnerable young people in custody and we are also developing two new Secure Schools. We will boost the number of frontline staff in youth offender institutions by 20% – that’s 120 additional recruits, including newly trained specialist youth justice workers, equipped to tackle the needs of young offenders.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 31/10/2017 17:47:11 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
