Select Committee Inquiry
12 Jan 2026
Children and Young Adults in the Secure Estate
Justice Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

The Justice Committee has launched an inquiry into children and young adults in the secure estate in England and Wales to determine if the current system effectively prevents offending while upholding a "child-first" approach. The inquiry will scrutinise the various types of secure settings and the suitability and safety of these environments.

We will explore the drivers behind high levels of self-harm, poor mental health and the use of physical restraint. This inquiry will also consider the transition of young people into the adult estate upon turning 18.

We will also examine whether the current adult prison environment is appropriate for meeting the developmental, welfare and rehabilitative needs of young adults aged 18 to 25.

Read the Call for Evidence to learn more about this Inquiry.
