answer text <p>There are relatively few girls in the youth secure estate, however it is important to ensure that their needs do not get overlooked as these girls tend to have a range of complex needs.</p><p>This is why the Youth Custody Service (YCS) is undertaking a specific programme of work to improve the way establishments support girls. This is implemented through a Girls Delivery Plan which outlines key activity to further improve services.</p><p>The YCS is also in the process of developing an evidence-based Girls Strategy in partnership with NHS England. The Centre for Mental Health has been commissioned to build an evidence base on the needs of girls in youth custody and how they can best be met. This will include consultation with service users, staff and key stakeholders. Their recommendations will be used to develop a YCS Girls Strategy which will shape activity over the coming years.</p> more like this
