NEW: Government changes law overnight (again) for vulnerable children. This time affecting those detained in secure training centres. During COVID-19 'transmission control period' (Coronavirus Act) G4S & MTC duties to provide children with education & activities are diluted 1/2
Children's right to weekly visits can be suspended. Expiry date = *25 March 2022*. Children's time out of their cells to reduce from 14 to 1.5 hours. They will, however, get "daily opportunities to access fresh air". 2/2
You're probably thinking of all those vulnerable children held in prison cells for 22.5 hours a day, with G4S and MTC only having to fulfil education duties "so far as reasonably practicable". Government's analysis of impact, however, doesn't even mention children ⬇️
& here is the latest information (Feb 2020) on the children locked up in secure training centres. More than half have been in care and around a third are disabled. Nearly 6 in 10 children are from black and minority ethnic communities. @ChildrensComm @EHRC @IsabelleTrowler
We have submitted an FOI request ⬇️⬇️
