ABOUT US

G4S Oakhill Secure Training Centre (STC) cares for children aged 12 to 18 years old who have been remanded or sentenced to periods of detention.  The children in our care can be vulnerable and challenging, with a wide range of complex social and emotional needs. This is an environment that calls for high standards of social care and service delivery to provide a secure and stable environment for children to develop their life skills and address their previous behaviours.  We aim to support change and learning.

We strive to help every child feel safe, giving them an opportunity to heal from trauma and feel supported in developing a more positive identity.  We ensure our children have equal access and opportunity for change and are celebrated for their strengths.  We want the children in our care to leave better equipped for life emotionally, mentally, physically, and socially.  Our hope is that they will go on to make decisions and life choices that will lead to increasingly positive and productive lives.  We aim to support the constructive resettlement and transition of our children, whether returning to the community or moving to other custodial settings.  We are committed to working in partnership with them and their families, significant others and wider community organisations, to develop a quality regime at the centre.
