G4S Children's Services works closely with the Home Office, Youth Justice Board and Youth Custody Service for England and Wales and the Ministry of Justice to ensure that its regimes and designs reflect best practice in residential care to prevent offending.

At Oakhill Secure Training Centre we are a small custodial unit that looks after and educates up to 80 young people aged 14 to 18 years old who have been remanded or sentenced to periods of detention. The vulnerable young people in our care can be challenging with a wide range of social and emotional complex needs. This is an environment that calls for high standards of care and service delivery to provide a secure and stable environment for young people to develop their education and life skills and address the behaviours that have led them into custody.
