Nothing can be achieved without safety.

There must be absolute clarity that the underlying principle of secure care is the provision of therapeutic, trauma informed support. p80 (The Promise)

St Mary’s Kenmure is a child care organisation that offers a safe and secure environment for the care and education of young people who are referred from the Courts and Children’s Hearings. Our secure facility cares for 24 young people, in four house units each housing 6 young people and our young people come from all over Britain.

Each young person at St Mary’s receives the high level of care and education from a team of experienced and qualified staff who strive to meet their needs whilst ensuring their health and safety at all times. St Mary’s Kenmure has a skilled workforce who work with our young people and when the time is right we support and help them make the transition from St Mary’s Kenmure back into the community.

All staff are trained to a high standard, all care staff are SSSC registered whilst all teachers are GTC registered. We also have an experienced Specialist Interventions Team. The school employs a qualified nurse who coordinates any health services our young people may need such as doctor, nurse, dentist.
