Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress has been made in implementing the Secure STAIRS framework at HM Young Offenders Institute Feltham; and what assessment he has made on the potential effect of that framework on the levels of (a) violence and (b) disruptive behaviour at that institution.
A staggered roll out of the SECURE STAIRS framework has commenced at HMYOI Feltham with HMYOI Feltham’s Enhanced Support Unit (ESU) currently working to the Framework. Roll out will continue over the coming year. It is too early in the project to draw any conclusions on the impact on violence or disruptive behaviour at HMYOI Feltham.
The Custody Support Plan (CuSP) has been implemented in the ESU and the ESU CuSP Officers are engaging in their allocated young person’s case formulation meetings as per the joint HMPPS YCS and NHS England Behaviour Management Strategy. Full implementation is planned for the end of March 2020.
