The low secure unit provides support and treatment for males aged 18+ who are detained under the Mental Health Act who have associated public protection issues. Some of the service users are detained under forensic sections and are either ascending or descending the secure pathway. The unit aims to provide specialist rehabilitation underpinned by a philosophy of recovery and whole life principles, including addressing issues related to persistent and/or serious offending behaviour.
At times the unit can appear loud and disturbed, there may be occasions when students witness incidents of both verbal and physical aggression and self-harm.
