Marydale Secure Children’s Home

Marydale Secure Children’s Home provides secure accommodation with education for young people aged 10 to 18 years. It consists of two six bedded secure living areas, Austen and Bronte with a shared education facility.

One living area is for females only. Marydale has offered a single-gender environment for young women for many years. In our experience, the facility of a single-gender environment relieves young women of the pressures they may encounter in a mixed living area. It allows more opportunities to explore gender issues and sexuality and also examine factors of their past abuse in a safe environment. This allows us to deliver specific interventions to address their needs.

The second living area provides accommodation for mixed gender. We are better equipped to work with the younger age range with regards to boys. We will consider the older age range, but careful consideration will be given to the impact this will have on the existing group
