Trosolwg o'r swydd

The Kolvin Service compromises a regional community adolescent forensic mental health service, a nationally commissioned FCAMHS and mental health and forensic services into two Secure Children’s Homes (SCHs) in the North East for young people aged 10-18 years.

The Kolvin Service collaboratively leads on the implementation of the SECURE STAIRS trauma-informed framework at Aycliffe Secure Centre and Kyloe House SCHs.
