Vinney Green Secure Unit is situated in South Gloucestershire, located to the north-east of the city of Bristol in an area called Emersons Green. The unit represents a centre of excellence for the care and education of some of the most troubled and troublesome young people in the country.
The unit has an unparallelled, focused approach to the needs of the young people in its care. This, together with its proximity to the motorway network, national intake, pleasant setting and dedicated staff, ensure Vinney Green remains one of the premier facilities of its type in the
UK today.
The unit is licensed for operation by the Department of Health and it contracts with the Youth Justice Board to provide placements for 20 young people. It is subject to regular inspection by a range of government and local authority-approved officials, to ensure the highest standards are maintained at all times.
Intake into the unit is on a national basis with a preference given to young people located in the south-west of England.
