The children held in custody are now far more likely to have committed serious violent offences and be serving longer sentences than their counterparts just five years ago. This concentration of very high levels of need in a small number of institutions has meant most of the places holding children are volatile, with high levels of reckless and unpredictable violence. But HMYOI Parc has created a different narrative. Since 2018, we have judged outcomes for the children held there to be reasonably good or good at every inspection.
