In young offender institutions, key performance indicators include a requirement for delivery of 75 per cent of planned education hours. Each week, education providers in young offender institutions are expected to deliver 15 hours of education classes.

Secure Children’s Homes, which are operated under the supervision of the Department for Education, are not included in this key performance indicator

Education provision at Oakhill Secure Training Centre is managed under the contract with the provider, G4S plc, which specifies a minimum of 25 hours per week of education and enrichment.

We do not hold information about any loss of educational records that might occur during transfer.
