Parc inspection report 2024
Report for Parc Prison and Young Offender Institution
Summary
HMYOI Parc is a young offender institution (YOI) for boys aged between 15 and 17, located in the much larger Parc prison near Bridgend in South Wales. Operated by the private contactor G4S, it can hold up to 46 boys on two separate units, although at the time of our inspection just 28 were in residence. Of these, pressures in the adult estate. As this report and our recent visits show, the YOI at Parc is the best in England and Wales, and something of a benchmark for the four others currently in operation. When we last inspected in 2022, we found outcomes for young people against all four of our healthy establishment tests to be good, our highest assessment. At this inspection, we found purposeful activity had deteriorated and was now not sufficiently good.
