Werrington inspection report 2020
Summary
HMYOI Werrington holds up to 118 children aged between 15 and 17. The establishment, in common with other young offender institutions (YOIs), is inspected more frequently than adult prisons, and was last inspected in February 2019. At this inspection we found a well-led institution where effective partnership work was starting to lead to improvements in all of our tests of a healthy establishment. Outcomes in care had improved and were now good, our highest grade. Outcomes in purposeful activity and resettlement remained reasonably good. However, despite some progress, high levels of violence meant outcomes were still not sufficiently good for safety.
