Abstract

Secure care accommodation is a constantly evolving, challenging work environment where staff must adapt quickly, often with limited training. High turnover and burnout are common, driven by poor working conditions, stigma, and the complex needs of residents. This review explores staff experiences, focusing on safety, wellbeing, and the challenges of caring for vulnerable young people.
