Team leader: Nicky Ratcliff.

The team that inspected the service comprised two CQC inspectors.

We inspected this service as part of our ongoing comprehensive mental health inspection programme.

Before the inspection visit, we reviewed information that we held about the location and asked a range of other organisations for information.

During the inspection visit, the inspection team:

• visited the home and looked at the quality of the environment and observed how staff were caring for the young person
• spoke with the young person in residence
• spoke with the registered manager
• spoke with three other staff members; including a nurse and two support workers

• looked at the care records of the young person in residence
• looked at a range of policies, procedures and other documents relating to the running of the service.

Carlile House is run and owned by Shyne Together. It has been registered with CQC since 2013.  The service is a three bedded specialist residential children’s home for children and young people aged 10 years to 18 years old, registered to provide; treatment of disease, disorder or injury.  The young people placed there are subject to a care order and have challenging behaviour and or experiencing mental health problems.

There was a registered manager at the time of inspection.

At the time of inspection, there was one young person in residence. It is a detached house at the end of a residential street.

It was last inspected in 2014 under the previous inspection framework and was compliant in all areas.

We rated Carlile House as good because:

• The environment was visibly clean and well maintained.
• There were enough staff for the young person to have one to one time on a daily basis.
• There were up to date risk assessments in place for the young person. Care plans were holistic and person centred.
• The young person was supported in accessing education.
• Joint working with the young person’s community youth offending team and the local child and adolescent mental health team was good.
• Staff received appraisals, supervision and training.
