GUARDS at Queensland's youth prisons need more training on handling troublesome inmates and should review their procedures, a report into the improper use of force says.
Six cases of serious injury at juvenile detention centres in Brisbane and Townsville were investigated by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian.
The "pain compliance/management" technique used in detention centres may not be appropriate for use on young people because of the risk of injuries, the report said.
Releasing the recommendations, the commissioner for young people, Elizabeth Fraser, said while improvements had been made youth detention centre staff needed regular training on the appropriate use of force.
"Further work is yet to be completed to ensure appropriate guidance is given to staff, especially in relation to policy, procedures and training to ensure the application of force is within the law," she said in a statement.
Ms Fraser also wants youths in detention to have their rights of complaint safeguarded, and has urged the Department of Justice to revamp frontline staff training procedures within three months.
She added that youth workers and supervisors needed to be given strategies to stop unco-operative behaviour escalating.
The report examined six cases of undue force resulting in serious injury, including one dislocated shoulder and a fractured upper arm, four instances of fractured wrists and a fractured forearm.
