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.

During a routine inspection

We spoke with two young people when we visited Carlile House. They told us it was okay in the circumstances. One person told us they were planning to move to somewhere where they could be more independent. They said they were, 'Excited and slightly anxious at the same time'.

Bedrooms were decorated to reflect peoples' tastes. One person told us they had moved to Carlile House to be closer to friends and family. They said they were, 'Much happier there than where they had been previously'. House meetings were held to discuss people's preferences for meals and improvements to the house.

Care plans were developed with the support and involvement of a local team of specialist healthcare professionals.The plans in place covered the young person's education, family contact and therapeutic support. Each person had a key worker who spent time with them discussing any issues they had and agreeing how to address them.

There were effective liaison arrangements in place with social services. Key workers attended review meetings and prepared reports on people's development.

Staff we spoke with were aware of the importance of protecting people from abuse. They had recently received training in safeguarding children and young people from the risk of abuse.

Staff were well supported with training, professional development and supervision. We found the provider had suitable arrangements in place to ensure young people were supported by staff who were suitably trained.
