Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many youth offenders have participated in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme in each year since 2010.
Data on the number of youth offenders who have participated in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme each year since 2010 is not held centrally.
We recognise the positive impact the award has and are working with education providers and the National Offender Management Service to deliver The Award in Youth Offending Institutions and Secure Training Centres.
