TABLE 11: SECURE CARE AND CLOSE SUPPORT ACCOMMODATION CAPACITY AND USAGE 2006-2010

Notes:

Information on close support accommodation was collected for the first time in 2010. Reported usage relates only to close support care provided in dedicated close support units, and does not include any close support provided in alternative settings.

Information on emergency bed usage was collected for the first time in 2010. 3 units reported having an emergency bed: Rossie School, Good Shepherd & Kibble (see background notes for definition of an emergency bed)

St. Mary's Kenmure was temporarily closed on 30 March 2008 and had a sequential re-opening from 4 August 2008 when it's bed complement was as follows:-

4 August to 24 August = 6 beds, 25 August to 14 September = 12 beds, 15 September to 5 October = 18 beds and from 6 October onwards = 24 beds.

Therefore, there were no young people in St. Mary's Kenmure from 30 March 2008 to 3 August 2008.

Young people can be admitted and discharged more than once during the year.

For 2007/08, young people using the emergency bed have been included for St. Mary's Kenmure as they were not able to differentiate between emergency and non-emergency beds.

Good Shepherd reported over capacity by one child for each day on 30/6/09, 30/9/09, 13/10/09, 26/10/09, 3/11-15/11/09,1/12/09-4/1/10, 19/1-21/1/10, 17/2-22/3/10. However, this is likely to be a recording error.

St. Mary's Kenmure reported over capacity by one child for each day from 13/8-16/8/08 and 28/8-5/9/08. However, this is likely to be a recording error.

Kibble reported over capacity by one child for each day from 11/1-21/1/08. However, this is likely to be a recording error.
