Section 4. Findings
Figure 36: Do you feel cared for by most staff here?
4.77
Just over two-thirds (69%) of children said that staff treated them with respect. Children
from a black and minority ethnic background were significantly less likely than children from
a white background to report that most staff treated them with respect (63% compared with
74%). The proportion reporting respectful treatment was significantly higher in STCs than
YOIs (88% compared with 65%) and ranged between individual establishments, from 92% of
respondents at Rainsbrook to only 51% at Feltham.

The majority (69%) of children reported that if they had a problem, there were staff at the
establishment they could turn to for help. Again, children from a black and minority ethnic
background were significantly less likely than children from a white background to report
this (64% compared with 75%). A significantly higher proportion of children in STCs than in
YOIs reported having a member of staff to turn to for help (86% compared with 66%). While
the responses of children in different STCs were fairly similar, those of children in YOIs
varied considerably, ranging from 87% of those at the Keppel unit to just over half (55%) at
Feltham.
