Low secure mental healthcare
Specialist environments on the pathway to independence
Kent Street provides consultant-led, person-centred support for adults with complex mental health needs who require structure, security, rehabilitation and close risk management.
Our first low secure unit supports stabilisation, treatment engagement, reduced risk and progression towards greater independence where clinically appropriate.
The problem
When complex risk needs a structured pathway
Some adults with serious mental disorder need more than ordinary community provision, but do not require a medium or high secure setting. Their care may involve legal restrictions, forensic history, significant risk behaviours, trauma, substance misuse, or repeated contact with secure care and criminal justice pathways.
Kent Street supports this level of need through low secure care, multidisciplinary treatment, structured rehabilitation and person-centred risk management.
Low secure care provides structure, treatment, rehabilitation and risk management in a secure therapeutic setting.
The Kent Street model
Controlled, structured, person-centred care
Consultant-led oversight, multidisciplinary input, therapeutic support and structured risk management. Each plan responds to the person's presentation, legal status, history, risks, strengths and goals.
A controlled, structured environment
Physical and operational structure that supports safety and predictable care.
Consultant-led support
Senior clinical leadership shaping each placement and ongoing review.
Person-centred care planning
A plan that responds to the individual's presentation, history and risk.
Multidisciplinary team
Experienced professionals supporting assessment, treatment, review and risk management.
Support for complex risk profiles
A secure therapeutic environment configured for complex needs and rehabilitation.
A path to reduced restriction
Planning focused on stability, engagement, risk reduction and progression where clinically appropriate.
Who the model supports
For complex mental health needs and risk behaviours
We support adults whose mental health needs, legal status, risk profile or previous contact with services require a low secure environment: people detained under the Mental Health Act, and people referred through secure care or criminal justice pathways.
This is not generic supported living. It is low secure mental healthcare for people who need structure, safety, treatment and a clear plan.
Commissioners and clinical teams
Looking for a secure, structured, therapeutic environment for adults with complex needs.
Patients
Adults whose care requires structured treatment, rehabilitation, and a pathway to a less restrictive setting.
Safety and clinical planning
Safety, security and clinical planning
Safety comes from the team, the environment, the clinical plan and the governance around each person. Our model is built around multidisciplinary planning, structured risk assessment, rehabilitation, therapeutic support and clear review.
Our first unit
Our low secure unit
Our first low secure environment supports adults with complex mental health needs, significant risk behaviours and structured rehabilitation needs.
It provides consultant-led, person-centred support within a secure therapeutic setting, focused on stabilisation, treatment engagement, risk reduction, recovery and safe progression towards greater independence. It demonstrates the Kent Street model in practice and is the foundation for future low secure environments.
