(b) a monitor, who shall be a Crown servant appointed by the Secretary of State;

and every officer of such a secure training centre who performs custodial duties shall be a custody officer who is authorised to perform such duties or an officer of a directly managed secure training centre who is temporarily attached to the secure training centre.

(2) The director shall have such functions as are conferred on him by the M1 Prison Act 1952 as it applies to secure training centres and as may be conferred on him by secure training centre rules.

(3) The monitor shall have such functions as may be conferred on him by secure training centre rules and shall be under a duty—

(a) to keep under review, and report to the Secretary of State on, the running of the secure training centre by or on behalf of the director; and

(b) to investigate, and report to the Secretary of State on, any allegations made against custody officers performing custodial duties at the secure training centre or officers of directly managed secure training centres who are temporarily attached to the secure training centre.

(4) The contractor and any sub-contractor of his shall each be under a duty to do all that he reasonably can (whether by giving directions to the officers of the secure training centre or otherwise) to facilitate the exercise by the monitor of all such functions as are mentioned in or imposed by subsection (3) above.
