Parc inspection report 2020
Report for Parc Prison and Young Offender Institution
Summary
needed to be understood. There was also a concern that child and adolescent mental health services were not delivering treatment and interventions in line with national standards. However, these concerns should not be allowed to overshadow the work that was delivering good outcomes for the children being held at Parc. We found many examples of good practice that are set out in section 5 of this report, some of which have been mentioned above, but which in addition include the management and support for victims and perpetrators of violence, the help given to children to stay in contact with their families, the presence of dedicated nurses on the children’s unit and the help given to children to work towards achieving their sentence targets. Overall, Parc is easily the best performing YOI in England and Wales. It has the advantage of being smaller in size than some of its comparators, but that should not be used by others as an excuse for not taking full and proper notice of what has been achieved.
