HMP/YOI Parc Young Person’s Unit maintained its reputation as a leading YOI, lauded for its strong leadership, innovative programmes, and compassionate staff-child relationships. The unit successfully reduced violence and improved time out of cells, alongside excellent family contact. However, the report raised concerns regarding the challenged healthcare provision following a staff departure and the quality of education delivered by the new provider.
Key concerns identified
- Healthcare became a challenged function due to the departure of the onsite nurse.
- The new education provider, Novus Gower, was ill-prepared, leading to inadequate teacher numbers and children reporting boredom and disinterest in lessons.
- A low uptake of library books, with only 290 taken out during the year, was noted as a concern.
