About us
G4S Care & Rehabilitation Services (CaRS) successfully manages five prisons, one secure training centre and a number of community contracts across England and Wales. The philosophy of our business is to rehabilitate children and equip them with the skills needed to resettle back into society. Our aim is to create an environment in which our employees and our children feel safe and supported.
YOI Parc is a fast paced complex and challenging environment. We look after children aged 15 to 18 years old who have been remanded or sentenced to periods of imprisonment; ranging from approximately 6 months to those serving life sentences. The vulnerable children 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 social care and service delivery to provide a secure and stable environment for children to develop their life skills and address the behaviours that have led them into custody.
We work closely with the Youth Custody Service (YCS) to ensure that its regimes and designs reflect best practice in residential care to prevent re-offending.
