answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>Improving outcomes in under-18 Young Offenders Institutions (YOIs) is one of the key objectives of our plans to Transform Youth Custody. A new operating specification has been developed for under-18 YOIs. This requires that every young person has access to a minimum of ten hours out of their rooms which includes a minimum of one hour in the open air each day. Our plans are to implement this revised regime across all under-18 YOIs during 2015.</p><p> </p><p>We believe we need to do more than improve the existing estate which is why the Government intends to open a pathfinder Secure College, a new form of secure establishment which will put education at the heart of youth custody, in the East Midlands in 2017.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 26/09/2014 10:40:47 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
