8.10 A month after their release, 23 young people were still living in the same accommodation to
which they were released. Six young people were back in custody and one was ‘on the run’,
and this included four who had been living with family and three looked after children who had
been released to supported housing (one of these young people had been arrested at the
gate). Disappointingly information was not received on where the two young people released
without accommodation were living a month later.
ETE
8.11 In the 41 questionnaires returned, case supervisors reported that 13 young people (32%) had
a pre-arranged ETE placement for when they left custody. This comprised:
one young person who was returning to school
four who were attending training (for example, in construction or web design)
one who would receive education in his supported housing
six who were starting courses at college or with another education provider
one who was starting an employment-style placement.
