The residential care home Nailah House was opened in January 2001 and welcomed its first resident on 5th March that year. The home has been going from strength to strength since then and has successfully cared for and supported many young people to achieve positive change. Our referrers come back to us year after year and we have consistently achieved ‘good’ inspection ratings. Over the years we have built up a reputation for working effectively with difficult teenagers and achieving behavioural change with some youngsters exhibiting very challenging behaviour. Past residents have remained in contact with us and we have continued the support long after they have left. Nailah House has worked successfully with the following groups of young people;

• Young people with violent and aggressive behaviour
• Persistent offenders
• Persistent absconders
• Self harmers
• Young people with high level drug use (heroin and crack addicts)
• Young people with moderate learning disabilities
• Young people with mental health concerns
• Young people with HIV
• Sexually exploited females
• Young mothers & pregnant young women
