Seventy per cent of children indicated that they normally had enough clean, suitable clothes
for the week. Again, this was significantly higher in STCs than YOIs (88% compared with
67%). Ninety-three per cent of the children at Medway and 90% at Parc said they had access
to clean clothes on a weekly basis, compared with 60% at Feltham and Wetherby.

Over half of children (53%) reported that they could access their stored property if they
needed it, and again the picture was significantly more positive in STCs than YOIs: 67% of
children in STCs said they could access their property if needed, compared with 51% in
YOIs. Gaining access to stored property also varied between establishments with threequarters (76%) of children in Oakhill and Medway being able to access their property,
compared with less than half of children at Cookham Wood, Parc and Feltham. A
significantly lower proportion of children with disabilities said they could access their
property when they needed it (only 43% compared with 57% of children without a disability).
