Written StatementsToday is the publication of the “Report on implementing the Independent Review of Restraint in Juvenile Secure Settings”.
This publication is the work of the two independent monitors, Mr Andrew Williamson and Mr Peter Smallridge, who were asked to monitor the implementation of their original report from 2008—“Independent Review of Restraint in Juvenile Secure Settings”. I welcome their report and the conclusion that Government, secure establishments and other agencies have made good progress on implementing an ambitious programme of change in the way restraint is used in the youth secure estate.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Mr Williamson and Mr Smallridge for their contribution to this important area of work. Copies of their original report and the Government response from 2008 can be found on the Department’s website at: www.justice.gov.uk
