Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average length of time was that a child spent in the segregation unit in each secure institution that holds children in each of the last five years for which information is available.

Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) do not hold the specific information requested centrally and it could only be obtained at disproportionate cost by manually searching through individual records and logs. HMPPS are, however, in the process of reviewing how segregation data is collected across each establishment in the Youth Estate.
