Our service is particularly suited as an alternative to secure care or as a transitional arrangement for young people who no longer require the physical restrictions of secure care. For many there is a widely recognised need for a stepping down from secure provision towards a return to community provision. The service includes the possibilities of continuing aftercare support for young people who return home or to community-based resources.
