LEVERTON HALL SECURE UNIT
Leverton has a well-established reputation for the provision of therapeutic care within small residential groups.

Our maximum group size is six young people. These groups are maintained separately with very little mixing.

We aim to create a safe and emotionally secure environment, where young people can establish appropriate relationships with adults, and through this explore the issues that have impacted upon their lives and resulted in a secure placement.
We can provide separate single sex accommodation for six young women and six young men, with a mixed four-bed unit also available. Such flexibility allows us to work with a variety of different groups, which meets the needs of young people.

Feedback on placements received from young people, referring authorities and parents or carers is generally very positive.

We offer an excellent educational programme within a well-resourced school. Class sizes are small and support is high. School attendance is excellent and young people make significant educational gains.

Our work with young people is supported by high staff to child ratio and is provided by a culturally diverse staff group.

We benefit from the services of a consultant psychiatrist, consultant psychologist, art therapist and music therapist. We also have excellent primary health care services provided by an on site nurse, supported by a direct link with a specialist GP practice. We also have established links with local drug advisory services and connexions.

For all referrals where we are given sufficient information we will provide a speedy response. We have worked very successfully with a wide range of young people including those who self harm, have been abused and suffered emotional depravation.

Leverton aspires to provide a child focussed service that facilitates both emotional growth and skill acquisition. We seek to work in partnership from the point of admission, throughout the placement and achieve a well ordered transition to the next care setting for a young person - whatever and wherever that may be.

Please feel free to contact Leverton if you require further information.
