In pilots this approach led to 30% more young people having education, training and employment placements arranged.</p><p> </p><p>From August this year, all youth custodial establishments will be required to deliver between 25 and 30 hours of education per week. New contracts for education providers in public sector Young Offender Institutions commenced in March 2015 provide an even greater focus on education and will see the number of hours of education available to young people more than double.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 22/06/2015 12:07:40 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
