Answer
The capital costs will be around £45 million, which will cover both the development costs of the additional 29 places and the modernisation of 78 places. Current average weekly costs are around £3,000 for each child. Secure schools are responsible for managing their operational costs and setting their costs per place. The Executive has asked them to look to minimise their weekly costs while delivering a high level of care and education for the young people in their care.
