inspection

A new report finds HMYOI Werrington, a young offender institution in Staffordshire, to be improving in many areas, with good care for the children detained, but high levels of violence remain a challenge.

An enhanced inspection approach, used when inspectors returned to Brook House Immigration Removal Centre at Gatwick nearly two years after a covert BBC film showed apparent abuse by staff, found no evidence of an abusive culture amonfg the present staff.

Almost a  quarter of private faith schools rated inadequate at their last inspection, compared with nine per cent for other schools.

Detaining families is very costly and carries a considerable human impact, especially for children, says inspector.
