The Earl of Listowel

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What steps they are taking to ensure the role of personal officer in young offender institutions is effectively implemented. [HL2458]

The Minister of State, Home Office

All young offender institutions operate a personal officer scheme. A key audit baseline requires that prisoners have support from a specified member of staff for advice and guidance, and help with personal problems.
