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
