The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames on 2016-01-27.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what has been the turnover of basic grade custody staff in the G4S-run secure training centres of Medway, Oakhill and Rainsbrook over the last 12 months.

Baroness Evans of Bowes Park

The safety and welfare of young people in custody is vital and we take the allegations made by BBC Panorama extremely seriously. Immediate action was taken to ensure the safety of young people at the centre and Kent Police and Medway Council’s child protection team have launched an investigation. We have also appointed an Independent Improvement Board to increase oversight, scrutiny and challenge of managerial arrangements.

The turnover rate of basic grade custody staff in G4S run secure training centres (STCs) is set out in Table 1.
