Young Offender Institutions: Women
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many females were placed in youth offending estates intended for males in 2022-2023; and how many females are detained in youth offending estates intended for males as of 23 May 2023.
- Answer
-
In 2022-23 no females were held in spaces intended as male-only, which remained the case on 23 May 2023.
Girls committed into custody will be located in Secure Children's Homes, Oakhill Secure Training Centre, or Wetherby Young Offenders Institution, depending on their specific circumstances. All are mixed-gender settings, and girls may mix with boys in education and other activities, where appropriate. Youth Custody Service staff are trained to work with girls in a gender-responsive way, and regimes, services, activities, and interventions are tailored to meet their individual needs.
Where girls are placed into units which previously housed boys only, significant work is done to refurbish and ensure the environment is appropriate.
