Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many children have been kept apart from one another on the way to and from classes in young offenders institutions in each of the last 10 financial years.

“Keep apart” alerts are recorded on individual young people’s records and are monitored to ensure that they are safely managed when moving between different activities and areas of their respective sites. The Youth Custody Service does not, however, collate information at the level of detail requested.
