It is right that we find better ways to pay the costs of running our criminal courts, and the introduction of this charge has made it possible to recover some of the costs from offenders, which reduces the burden on taxpayers. The Government is keeping the operation of the criminal courts charge under review.<\/p>"}

The Secure College in Leicestershire will be the first of a new generation of secure educational establishments which will put education at the heart of youth custody. It will inform our vision for the future of the youth custodial estate across England and Wales.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p>Education provision will be tailored to the particular needs of young people in custody. We anticipate Secure Colleges providing a strong focus on the core skills, such as literacy and numeracy, which all young people need, but with sufficient flexibility for vocational training and workplace skills to develop those offenders seeking employment on release. We would want to afford operators the same freedoms as academies, to personalise learning pathways and target intervention.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Secure College Pathfinder operator will make continuous assessment of young people to ensure that they progress towards the targets set out in their individual plans.<\/p>
