	A young offender who absconded from Oberstown detention centre remains on the loose after two of his fellow escapees were returned to the facility at the weekend.</p>
<p>
	Four boys in total, aged 15 and 16, fled the facility near Lusk in north Co Dublin on July 25. Three have now been returned, but garda&iacute; are still actively searching for the fourth boy.</p>
<p>
	Four members of staff were suspended following the escape, which has heaped huge attention on the facility where 49 children are currently being detained.</p>
<p>
	Workers have recently complained they are under-resourced and under-staffed due to a high number of staff going on sick leave following assaults by children detained at the centre.</p>
<p>
	Since March, 29 staff have had periods off work through injury caused by assault, restraining detainees or accident.</p>
<p>
	A meeting between staff and management took place last Friday where it was agreed that new training would be put in place for staff in the area of behavioural management as a response to the growing concerns for staff safety.</p>
<p>
	&quot;A new round of training in this will be implemented from August 24,&quot; a spokesperson for the Department of Children said.</p>
<p>
	The training will focus on behavioural management techniques to prevent incidents from escalating. A staff safety group has also been set up.</p>
<p>
	The changes come as a senior youth worker warned it was only a matter of time before a death occurred at the facility if things do not change.</p>
<p>
	Speaking on the basis of anonymity, the youth worker said: &quot;In my opinion, if it keeps going the way it is, there will be a fatality of either staff or a boy.&quot;</p>
<p>
	Oberstown has undergone a &euro;56m redevelopment recently and has taken in children who were detained at the St Patrick&#39;s youth wing in Mountjoy prison.</p>
