Accomodation

The accommodation comprises of four living / bedroom areas each providing facilities for four young women, together with a range of classroom, and sports / exercise facilities. The Service has its own fitness suite, library, and medical facilities which include sterile treatment areas and a dental surgery.  High levels of security are maintained within the building, and in outside recreational areas which are contained within a secure perimeter.

Placements:

The referral process is designed to be easy, and does not require the commissioner to provide lengthy written pro-forma material / reports. All young women must be between 10 and 17 years of age and satisfy the "welfare" criteria under the Children Act Section 25. Young women between the age of 10 and 13 may be placed but in addition require the Secretary of State to consent to the placement, gained via Ofsted. In all cases an Order under Section 25 of the Children Act 1989 must be gained in order for the young woman to be placed.

Young women do not keep in their possession items which may constitute a risk to themselves or others and when placed undergo a clothing / possessions search. Items considered represent a risk are held in store for the duration of the placement. The Service is non-smoking - young women do not therefore hold cigarettes, lighters, or matches.
