Children & Young People Now reports that young offender institutions (YOIs) are set to lose scores of teaching staff and face industrial action just months after a deal was struck with a private provider to deliver education services in jails. Christiane Ohsan, national officer for the University and Colleges Union, said: “It is difficult to say at this stage how the service will be affected but we know that the staff are really angry because of the way they have been treated,” he said. “The staff are thoroughly demoralised and we might have to consider industrial action.”
