Cherry Tree Cottage, in North Hertfordshire, is an Ofsted-registered children’s residential home run in partnership by the council and the Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT).
The joint-funded, dual-staffed service provides 12-week placements for young people aged 12-17 experiencing or recovering from a tier 4 mental health crisis.
It is designed to support them to “stabilise, receive treatment and access the health and social care support they need”, according to the council.
The service has been set up to reduce instances where young people seek help at A&E, require tier 4 admission and are subject to detention under the Mental Health Act.
