Castlemilk Youth Complex
What Support is offered within the High Schools?
At the Castlemilk Youth Complex, building positive and meaningful relationships with young people is central to our work. Equally important is maintaining these relationships across the wider community, ensuring that young people can access consistent support in a variety of settings.
To achieve this, members of our Youth Work Team are based within local secondary schools throughout the week, working closely with pupils and school staff to provide guidance, support, and early intervention where required. In addition, Stacey is based within Hollybrook Academy, further strengthening our presence within the education sector.
This integrated approach provides significant benefits for young people. By seeing familiar Youth Workers both within the Complex and in their school environment, young people are more likely to develop trusting relationships and feel confident seeking support when needed. The continuity of these relationships helps create a strong support network, promotes positive engagement, and ensures that young people have access to trusted adults across different areas of their lives.
