Labour demands PM take action after latest revelations of harm to children.
The Labour Party is calling for an immediate shut down of the government's boot camps following a hearing that did not instil confidence in their ability to protect vulnerable young people. The party's spokesperson, Willow-Jean Prime, acknowledged the tragic death of one participant and expressed concerns over the programme's management.
According to Labour, officials struggled to match the Minister's positive assessment of the programme, with some even admitting there would be future offending. The party has repeatedly warned that boot camps are a failed experiment, posing a significant risk to young people. With the Prime Minister having committed to shutting down the programme if evidence of harm is found, Labour urges him to take swift action and end boot camps today.
