Secure Services, Secure Children’s Home
England
The local authority was committed to working with partners in the delivery of a purpose-designed Local Authority Children’s Home which would lead best practice and facilities in UK and beyond.
The new build centre is for 38 placements that meet the different needs of young people who, for a period of time require a secure setting. The centre will offer constructive programmes within a safe environment to young people placed there by the justice system, for those with complex welfare needs and for a proportion of young people requiring specialist interventions within a residential setting.
The new build centre will be secure by design and will offer state of the art modern accommodation. The design totals a floor space of approximately 7,000m2 with four large secure outdoor spaces within the perimeter wall bringing the total size of the facility to around 15 000m2. The design comprises 4 house units arranged around two central courtyards while allowing each unit direct access to one of the secure outdoor spaces and a further house grouping of 6 with its own individual courtyard. The educational facility forms the central axis of the design. The medical suite is situated adjacent to a House Unit and has discreet access points and includes dental facility. The recreation building is located separately from the rest of the centre to create a feeling of ‘going out’ for young people. It forms part of the rear perimeter security wall and contains facilities commensurate to those within the existing centre i.e. a swimming pool with changing areas, gymnasium and fitness suite.
The courtyards are an integral part of the design and must be vibrant, active and inspiring spaces that improve how children and staff feel about their space.
The new build will be operational by July 2011.
