Independent Monitors hopeful that opportunities for improved support are coming at HMYOI Wetherby
In its annual report published today (21 January 2026) the Wetherby Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) writes of a ray of hope in an otherwise all too familiar read on the stark state of England’s Youth Offending Institutes. In collaboration with the Youth Custody Service (YCS), Wetherby YOI has developed its own three-year plan to hopefully improve the care and prospects of the young people held there. The plan aims to focus on critical areas such as safety, behaviour management support and education, with regular overview from the YCS.

The number of serious assaults perpetrated against staff or between young people impacts the running of the establishment, resulting in less time out of room and an unpredictable regime, understandably leading to increased feelings of frustration and uncertainty amongst young people.
