Always great to visit @HMYOIWerrington and see their efforts to support children and young people in custody. Proud of the hard work. #YCS #YouthJustice

[HMYOI Wetherby @HMYOI_Wetherby]

💪Great to see Poppy on #Gladiators!

Her role is essential in helping young people with not only physical wellbeing but also discipline, teamwork, and resilience.

These skills can directly impact better decision making in everyday life, reducing the likelihood of reoffending.

[Alison Clarke @YCSExecDirector]

Thrilled to see one of our own, PEI Poppy from @HMYOI_Wetherby, showcasing her strength and skills in the upcoming Gladiators series on @BBCiPlayer. Incredible talent across HMPPS. Looking forward to cheering her on! #Gladiators Ready!

My thanks to colleagues at @hmyoifeltham for participating in the BBC’s recent knife crime documentary.
This helped give unique insight into the challenges faced by children and young people – and by our staff working with them to make a difference.

Yesterday we were delighted to visit the new @OasisRestore Secure School. 🎉🏫

The school is a new approach to custody which puts education and health at its heart, in a much smaller environment than in YOI’s. 📚❤️ It aims to be Child First and focused on children's needs. 👧👦
