Placement Information for Professionals
New Heights 44 CIC provides specialist, trauma-informed residential care for young people with complex needs, including those at risk of exploitation, placement breakdown, or significant emotional and behavioural challenges. We offer a small, highly structured, family-style environment with no more than one or two young people per home, enabling us to deliver consistent, relational care tailored to each individual’s needs. Our approach is grounded in safety, stability, and therapeutic support, with a strong focus on building trust, reducing risk, and supporting recovery.
We work closely with local authorities, social workers, and multi-agency professionals to ensure each placement is carefully planned, appropriately matched, and guided by robust risk management and personalised care planning. Our aim is to provide a safe, nurturing, and resilient home environment where young people can develop emotional regulation, engage in education, build positive relationships, and begin moving towards independence. We welcome placement discussions, complex case referrals, and collaborative partnership enquiries.
