question text	Her Majesty's Government whether the Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint techniques were adapted for use on younger and smaller children, prior to escort custody officers being trained and authorised to use them on children travelling to and from secure training centres and secure children's homes.
tabling member printed	Baroness Stern
uin	HL583
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>Minimising and Managing Physical Restraint (MMPR) has been specifically developed for use by staff working with children and young people in custody. It has been designed so that physical restraint is avoided as far as possible by recognising young people’s behaviour, and by using a range of de-escalation, diversion and behaviour management techniques to help them deal with it effectively and appropriately. MMPR was initially used in secure training centres, and is now being operationally used by the Youth Justice Board’s secure escort provider, who escort children to and from court, secure training centres, and secure children’s homes.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 20/07/2017 15:18:14 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

question text	Her Majesty's Government when the use of waist restraint belts was prohibited for pregnant women; and why.
tabling member printed	Baroness Stern
uin	HL584
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>Published Home Office policy on use of force on pregnant women states that it may, if necessary be used only for the prevention of harm either to the pregnant woman or to other persons. It must not be used for reasons of non-compliance by the woman in question. Any action taken must be justified, appropriate and proportionate. Following the introduction of the bespoke Home Office Manual for Escorting Safely (HOMES) restraint system from June 2014 for escort detainee custody officers, operational guidance was implemented in August 2014. The latest guidance is at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-restraints-for-escorted-moves.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 20/07/2017 16:25:07 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford attachment 1 file name DSO_07-2016_Use_of_Restraints.pdf title DSO - HO Manual for Escorting Safely

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the report by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons on HM Prison Hindley describing the regime as "possibly the very worst" that inspectors had ever seen in this type of prison, what action they are taking to (1) reduce the hours during which prisoners are locked up, (2) increase the hours during which prisoners are able to access education, (3) learn the lessons from cases of self-inflicted death, and (4) improve the governance of the deployment of batons against prisoners.

uin	HL4185
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2016 answer text <p>A detailed action plan is being developed to address the weaknesses identified by the Chief Inspector and will be published in Spring 2017 on the Inspectorate’s web site.</p><p>As set out in the Prison Safety and Reform White Paper, this Government will be investing over £100 million to recruit an additional 2,500 frontline staff across the prison estate by the end of 2018. This phased approach is to ensure officers are successfully inducted and can learn from experienced officers. From April 2017, we are giving prison governors the power and budget to determine how their prisons are run and the authority to do their own workforce planning, decide what staffing structures best meet their local needs and deciding how to deploy extra staff in prisons. Governors will also be fully responsible for the education delivered so that they can purchase services most appropriate to their establishment.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 23/12/2016 14:03:16 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
