We have appointed an Independent Improvement Board to increase oversight, scrutiny and challenge of managerial arrangements. As the justice secretary said last month, the safety and welfare of all those in custody is vital.

The number of incidents at Medway Secure Training Centre which require hospital treatment as a result of injury from assault or Restrictive Physical Interventions can be found in the annual 2014/15 Youth Justice statistics (Chapter 8 – Behaviour Management) via the link below:

We are investigating the accuracy of all restraint injury data from Medway Secure Training Centre.
