No other service in Scotland would offer a placement. Good Shepherd Centre have excelled expectations for this young person. The service is very good. Supportive, consistent and caring.” - Social Worker, 2020 Welcome to The Good Shepherd Centre The Good Shepherd Centre is a Scottish charity that provides a secure & intensive service for vulnerable young people based in Bishopton, Renfrewshire. We are privileged to be situated in a 38-hectare campus; within a beautiful countryside setting and stunning views over the Clyde estuary. The Secure Care and Close Support service was established in 2006, in 2018 we introduced a new Through-Care service. Young people live in one of our 4 houses or 2 cottages depending on the level of support required. They continue their education in our school on campus or attend further education out with the campus. Our care and education staff are some of the most experienced and committed within this sector. Our values are at the core of every decision we make as a team; Kindness, Nurturing, Resilience, and Rights Respecting. In addition to our core values, ‘Hope’ has also been part of our ethos for a long time, as we believe without Hope we cannot achieve our goals. At our most recent Care Inspection; Feb 2020; Feb 2020, we received a scoring of 5 in all areas, which include: Quality of care and support Quality of environment Quality of staffing Quality of management and leadership We are very proud of these scores and the feedback we received from young people, staff, social workers and the care inspectors.
