We chose a documentary which we had to watch and look at all the different conventions involved. I chose to watch BBC threes 'Kids behind bars', It's a new three-part series following children detained at Vinney Green secure children's home in Gloucestershire. It tells their stories and examines their progress.
It's brave of these units to allow cameras in, and important that they do - it's the only way the public can begin to understand how vulnerable children are cared for under lock and key. Unlike young offender institutions, secure children's homes are generally used to hold younger offenders, those aged 12 to 14, girls up to the age of 16, and 15 to 16-year-old boys who are assessed as particularly vulnerable.
