Lord Acton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many boys and girls there are at the Medway Secure Training Centre. [HL3284]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

There are currently 40 male trainees at the Medway centre. Since the centre opened on 17 April a total of three female trainees have been accommodated. All trainees have their own separate rooms with integral sanitation. Female trainees are required to have a female member of staff as their keyworker, and at night their unit would be supervised by at least one female member of staff.
