National Preventive Mechanism Second Annual Report 2010–11 of the staff and management team. RQIA was satisfied with the overall quality of care being delivered and the centre met the standards under inspection. Requirements were made in the following areas: • improving the quality of recording of physical restraint • the need to strengthen the links between education in the centre and education in the community • ensuring that staffing levels were always commensurate with the needs of the facility. This year, RQIA also examined the pathways through care of 10 young people who met the criteria for secure accommodation. The purpose of the work was to trace the pathways through care for the identified group and examine the key milestones/ factors that influenced the outcomes they experienced. The research group was divided into two sections: one group who met the criteria and were placed in secure care, and a second group who also met the criteria but did not receive a placement. RQIA examined the young people’s case records and completed interviews with the young people, social work staff and chairpersons for the restriction of liberty panels. The findings will be published in 2011–12. In addition to this secure care centre, children and young people may also be referred by the courts to Woodlands Juvenile Justice Centre. Woodlands can accommodate up to 48 young people in secure conditions. In March 2011, CJINI, RQIA and the Education and Training Inspectorate jointly inspected Woodlands. Their findings will be published later in 2011. CJINI also undertook two unannounced monitoring visits to Woodlands in conjunction with the Office of Social Services. 36
