My Lords, the secure training centre operators have given full co-operation to the panel of experts appointed by the Youth Justice Board to review the restraint techniques used in secure training centres. The panel met at Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre on 10 March this year and sought the views of staff and trainees on restraint methods. The Government see no reason to review the contracts.

My Lords, I am afraid that I did not have the advantage of reading all of the Guardian article. Let me reassure the noble Baroness, however, that I know of the concern that was expressed, and the matter appears to have been inaccurately reported. For the purposes of clarity, I should say that Rebound did not refuse outright to admit the two people; it asked for a postponement of the visit until the Crown Prosecution Service had reached a decision in the Gareth Myatt case. Those two people had produced the original report and, on the advice of lawyers, that was the position taken. I reassure the House that there is an ongoing, wider review on the use of pain techniques.

My Lords, I assure the noble Lord that excessive use of restraint has not taken place. The Home Office is vigorous in its monitoring to make sure that what happens in the juvenile estate is appropriate. I am absolutely confident that the inspectorate will take those issues very seriously in the discharge of its duty.

My Lords, that basic training is very much part of the training that takes place. I certainly undertake to check its precise nature and to write to noble Lords if there is greater information about it. However, I reassure noble Lords that the care that needs to be taken with young people in such situations is absolutely understood. One of the reasons for driving forward the review is that we want to make sure that we have the best possible means of keeping young people safe and restraining them in a way that is appropriate.

My Lords, I agree with the noble Earl that enhanced training to meet the needs of young people in our youth estate is extremely important. That training is taking place, and we intend to intensify it. Further, it is being deepened throughout the estate.
