Safety
Detainees, particularly the most vulnerable, are held safely.
Early days in custody
Detainees transferring to the establishment are safe and their needs are met. On arrival, detainees are treated with respect and any risks are identified and addressed. Detainees are safe and supported on their first night. Induction is comprehensive.

The establishment promotes the welfare of children and protects them from all kinds of harm and neglect. Any vulnerable adults at risk are identified, protected from harm and neglect and receive effective care and support.
