I visited St. Philips Secure Unit. I spoke to staff and a board member and met with some of the young people accommodated. This is a new build unit so the accommodation is of a high standard. The main issue from staff is the moth balling of six of the 24 beds and a level of uncertainty as to the future positioning of secure accommodation. There is a link to the ongoing debate around 16/17 year olds in custody.
