"Education is fundamental to reducing reoffending," they said."We have already taken action to embed daily welfare checks and ensure there is more time for youth justice workers to support young offenders with meaningful activities."

It was last inspected in 2023, when it was found to be "an unstable establishment in need of substantial support".It was also described in a 2022 report as having higher levels of violence than any other in England and Wales. 'Completely unacceptable' HM chief inspector of prisons Charlie Taylor said: "Despite clear improvement in safeguarding procedures and some concerted efforts to reduce conflict and violence, the key challenges of weak relationships between staff and children and ineffective behaviour management remained."He added there was a culture of control and separation and that the average time out of cell was just three and a half hours per day."This would be poor in any prison but is completely unacceptable in one holding children," Mr Taylor time was largely taken up with managing the separation of those who had to be kept apart for safety reasons, the report noted, however, that the governor and her team were aware of shortcomings and had enacted an improvement plan to address them the month before the inspection.
