Recommendation
We welcome the Government’s commitment to remove pain-inducing techniques from the MMPR training manual and to focus it on behaviour management and restraint. We are disappointed that, six months after Charlie Taylor recommended this change, there is no indication of when it will happen. We recommend that the Ministry of Justice and Youth Custody Service remove pain-inducing techniques from the MMPR syllabus without further delay. The Ministry and Youth Custody Service should also set out a timeframe for conclusion of the review, redesign and delivery of the new syllabus. (Paragraph 68) Disproportionality in custody
