HM Inspectorate of Prisons report

Parc inspection report 2022

Report for Parc Prison and Young Offender Institution

Summary

HMYOI Parc is a facility for up to 60 young people located within Parc prison near Bridgend in South Wales, though managed as a separate entity. Operated under contract by the private company G4S, this inspection has again shown the facility to be arguably the best performing young offender institution in the country. Against all four of our healthy prison tests, we judged outcomes to be good, our highest assessment. Underpinning Parc’s success were the excellent relationships between young people and the staff who cared for them. The culture was one of engagement, high expectations and incentivisation of good behaviour. Staff modelled high standards of behaviour themselves and were prepared to tackle delinquency among young people when they saw it.
