answer text <p>The Government published its response to the report of the new psychoactive substances review expert panel on 30 October. The Government accepted the panel’s recommendation to develop proposals for a blanket ban on the sale of new psychoactive substances and to control synthetic cannabinoids under the Misuse of Drugs Act on the basis of their effects on the brain. The panel makes it very clear that these provisions require consideration and a number of risks need to be carefully managed. <br><br>The Government has already initiated statutory consultation with the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs on the proposals relating to synthetic cannabinoids and will consider its advice carefully before legislating. Work has begun to develop proposals for a blanket ban on the sale of new <br>psychoactive substances. We will set out further detail on these proposals in due course.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p /> <p>Overall crime and proven offending by young people has fallen in recent years. Fewer young people have entered the criminal justice system, and as a result fewer young people have ended up in custody. The average number of young people in custody fell from 2,418 in 2009/10 to 1,233 in 2013/14, a decrease of 49%.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>There are some occasions when it is necessary to remove young people from association because their behaviour is likely to be so disruptive that keeping them on ordinary location would be unsafe, or because their own safety and wellbeing cannot reasonably be assured by other means. Removal from association cannot be used as a punishment, and there are careful limits placed on the length of time for which young people can be separated. In the consultation on our plans for Secure College Rules we are seeking views on the safeguards that should be included in the Rules to ensure that separation is used appropriately in Secure Colleges.</p><p> </p><p>Young people in Young Offender Institutions (YOIs) cannot be removed from association and placed in a separation and care unit for more than 72 hours without the authority of the Secretary of State. If authorised by the Secretary of State, separation cannot be for longer than for 14 days, but it may be renewed after review for the same period again.</p><p> </p><p>The Secure Training Centre (STC) rules state that a young person cannot be removed from association for more than three hours in any 24-hour period. The regulatory framework for Secure Children Homes (SCH) does not set a time limit on the use of separation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Youth Justice Board (YJB) for England &amp; Wales does not collect data on the number of offenders who were subject to separation[1], but does collect data on the number of incidents of separation.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below shows the number of incidents of separation that took place in STCs and SCHs in each year since April 2010.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Table 1: The number of separation incidents in SCHs and STCs in each year since April 2010</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment type</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010/11</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011/12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14<strong>[2]</strong></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Secure Children’s Home</p></td><td><p>3,350</p></td><td><p>3,318</p></td><td><p>2,320</p></td><td><p>1,899</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Secure Training Centre</p></td><td><p>1,112</p></td><td><p>563</p></td><td><p>392</p></td><td><p>488</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>4,462</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>3,881</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2,712</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2,387</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not collect data on the number of young offenders who were subject to an incident of separation, but does count the total number of young people in segregation[3] in each 24-hour period. For example, one young person in segregation for five days and one young person segregated for two hours would count as six young people in segregation (5 days + 1 day). This data is, however, only available for the period from October 2012 to September 2014.</p><p>Table 2 shows the total number of young people in segregation in YOIs in each year since October 2012, based on adding together the daily counts of the number of young people in segregation in each 24-hour period. Due to the nature of the counting rules, this does not indicate the number of individual young people held in segregation, as an incident can be counted multiple times if the segregation period covers more than a single 24-hour period.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 2: Total number of young people in segregation in YOIs in each year since October 2012, based on adding together the daily counts of the number of young people in segregation in each 24-hour period</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment type</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Oct-12 to Sep-13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Oct-13 to Sep-14</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Young Offender Institution</p></td><td><p>10,778</p></td><td><p>7,970</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The Youth Justice Board collects data on time in separation in both STCs and SCHs in the following time bands: 0-15 minutes, 16-30 minutes, 31-60 minutes, 61-120 minutes, 121-180 minutes and 181+ minutes. Therefore it is not possible to state the average duration or the longest period of time for which young people are in separation.

The regulatory framework for Secure Children Homes (SCH) does not set a time limit on the use of separation.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Youth Justice Board (YJB) for England &amp; Wales does not collect data on the number of offenders who were subject to separation[1], but does collect data on the number of incidents of separation.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1 below shows the number of incidents of separation that took place in STCs and SCHs in each year since April 2010.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Table 1: The number of separation incidents in SCHs and STCs in each year since April 2010</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment type</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010/11</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011/12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14<strong>[2]</strong></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Secure Children’s Home</p></td><td><p>3,350</p></td><td><p>3,318</p></td><td><p>2,320</p></td><td><p>1,899</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Secure Training Centre</p></td><td><p>1,112</p></td><td><p>563</p></td><td><p>392</p></td><td><p>488</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>4,462</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>3,881</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2,712</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2,387</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not collect data on the number of young offenders who were subject to an incident of separation, but does count the total number of young people in segregation[3] in each 24-hour period. For example, one young person in segregation for five days and one young person segregated for two hours would count as six young people in segregation (5 days + 1 day). This data is, however, only available for the period from October 2012 to September 2014.</p><p>Table 2 shows the total number of young people in segregation in YOIs in each year since October 2012, based on adding together the daily counts of the number of young people in segregation in each 24-hour period. Due to the nature of the counting rules, this does not indicate the number of individual young people held in segregation, as an incident can be counted multiple times if the segregation period covers more than a single 24-hour period.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 2: Total number of young people in segregation in YOIs in each year since October 2012, based on adding together the daily counts of the number of young people in segregation in each 24-hour period</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Establishment type</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Oct-12 to Sep-13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Oct-13 to Sep-14</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Young Offender Institution</p></td><td><p>10,778</p></td><td><p>7,970</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The Youth Justice Board collects data on time in separation in both STCs and SCHs in the following time bands: 0-15 minutes, 16-30 minutes, 31-60 minutes, 61-120 minutes, 121-180 minutes and 181+ minutes. Therefore it is not possible to state the average duration or the longest period of time for which young people are in separation.

answer text <p /> <p>The Youth Justice Board for England and Wales (YJB) is working in partnership with a wide range of public, private and voluntary and community sector organisations to seek to take preventative action to ensure that young people do not end up in custody. This includes programmes to work with certain ethnic groups and disadvantaged young people, to prevent them from becoming involved in crime.</p><p> </p><p>The estimated proportions of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BME) offenders in youth custody are shown in Table 1 below:</p><p> </p><p><strong>Proportion of under-18 BME offenders (including Asian, black, mixed and other ethnicity) in custody based on the average number of offenders in the 12 months starting May 2010 to the 12 months starting May 2013.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>BME</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average no. of BME offenders in youth custody</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average no. of offenders in youth custody</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Percentage proportion of BME offenders in youth custody</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>600</p></td><td><p>2,023</p></td><td><p>30%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>568</p></td><td><p>1,953</p></td><td><p>29%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>564</p></td><td><p>1,499</p></td><td><p>38%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>465</p></td><td><p>1,217</p></td><td><p>38%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>More detailed figures showing the number of offenders in youth custody who are black, Asian and minority ethnic in each month from April 2005 to August 2014 can be accessed via following link (see tab 2.6 Ethnicity):</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/367369/youth-custody-report-august-2014.xls" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/367369/youth-custody-report-august-2014.xls</a></p><p>The data provided is a monthly snapshot of the custodial population in the secure estate for children and young people, taken on the last Friday of the month or first Friday of the following month, depending on which is nearer to the actual month end.</p><p> </p><p>From April 2012, the under-18 custody population data comes from the eAsset database.

answer text <p /> <p>The Government believes reformed offenders can play a positive role in rehabilitating young and adult offenders through mentoring and demonstrating the possibility for change.</p><p> </p><p>It is for the Governors of Young Offender Institutions, Directors of Secure Training Centres and Managers of Secure Children’s Homes to approve the visit of any person to a custodial establishment. Consideration will be given to the purpose of the visit, an assessment of the risk that the individual poses, and to wider responsibilities to ensure that young people are safeguarded at all times.</p> more like this
