<p> </p><p> </p><p>In April 2013 Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) submitted
a response to the Government's Transforming Youth Custody consultation, which set
out our proposals for Secure Colleges.<br> <br> The Government values the important
role HMIP performs in inspecting custodial establishments. We are therefore legislating
in the Criminal Justice and Courts Bill for HMIP, along with Ofsted, to have a duty
to inspect Secure Colleges. <br> <br> On 10 March 2014, I met with the Chief Inspector
of Prisons and the Government's proposals for Secure Colleges were discussed. In addition,
my officials have had, and continue to have, discussions with the Chief Inspector's
staff in order to develop, in conjunction with Ofsted, arrangements for the inspection
of Secure Colleges.</p>
