Written question asked by Baroness Stern (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 27 July 2010.
Secure Training Centres: Physical Restraint
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many times a child held in a secure training centre has been examined by a medical professional (a) from within the establishment, and (b) from outside the establishment, following an incident of restraint in each of the past five years.
- Answer
-
Restraint is only ever to be used by staff as a last resort, when all other approaches have either not succeeded or would not be appropriate. There is a contractual requirement on each secure training centre for a registered nurse to visit a young person within 30 minutes following a restraint incident. All secure training centres provide 24-hour healthcare provision and are required to have a nurse on site throughout the day.
