Figures have been rounded to the nearest whole number. 29 This was where case supervisors were unavailable to interview during our fieldwork visit due to leave or work commitments. 30 In some instances these surveys also form part of the evidence base for individual establishment inspections. 31 At the time of the analysis Stoke Heath held young people and young adults but in 2011 was re-roled to hold young adults only. 32 This included 13 separate survey samples, as specialist units within an establishment are sampled separately. 33 14–19 Education and Skills White paper, 2005 34 HM Inspectorate of Prisons (2010) Training planning for children and young people, London: HMIP 35 Youth Justice Board (2009) National standards for Youth Justice Services 36 Youth Justice Board (2009) National Standards for Youth Justice Services 37 HM Inspectorate of Prisons (2010) Training planning for children and young people, London: HMIP 38 The prison service IT system holding personal details of all prisoners.

Appendix I Methodology Fieldwork Fieldwork was conducted at the following six male young offender institutions (YOIs) holding those aged 15 to 18 years old between July and October 2010. Establishments Date of fieldwork Parc w/c 5 July 2010 Warren Hill w/c 12 July 2010 Wetherby w/c 9 August 2010 Werrington w/c 6 September 2010 Cookham Wood w/c 4 October 2010 Heron unit (Feltham) w/c 18 October 2010 At each fieldwork site the following was conducted. Interviews with sentenced young men approaching release These interviews (see Appendix V) looked at how involved sentenced young men had been in the arrangements for accommodation and ETE on their release, their knowledge of the plans in place for their release and their views on the arrangements. In total 61 young men were interviewed. Of these: 18 were identified by the establishment as a looked after child (either Section 31, Section 20, or relevant or eligible children, see Appendix III for further detail) 18 were from a black or ethnic minority background seven were 15 years old, 21 were 16 years old, 25 were 17 years old and eight were 18 years old at the time of interview. The average length of time that the young men reported that they had spent in their current establishment or unit was 4.2 months. This ranged from two weeks to two years. Although we aimed to interview those being released within a month of our visit, at some establishments we had to extend this timeframe in order to interview at least 10 young men at each fieldwork site. The average number of days until the 61 young men were to be released was 18.5, ranging from one day to 73 days (see table below). 75
