Parc inspection report 2026

Summary

HMYOI Parc continued to deliver good outcomes for children across all four of our healthy prison tests. Leaders and staff had maintained a calm, purposeful and child-focused environment, making Parc arguably the best YOI in England and Wales. Leadership at Parc was a strength. Although the population had increased substantially in the previous fourth months, the director and his senior team sustained high standards. They were visible on wings and were committed to driving a cooperative, positive culture to meet children’s needs. Staff morale was high, turnover was low and most frontline staff were experienced and confident in managing behaviour.
