Welcome to Amberleigh care

Welcome to Amberleigh care

Amberleigh Care is a centre of excellence for young males who have exhibited inappropriate or harmful sexual behaviours. Our multi-disciplinary staff team receive specialist training and our approaches to assessment, intervention and even our operating environment are underpinned by research and the evidence base of what works in our area of practice.

Our aim is to reduce and prevent the cycle of abuse by helping young people to both recover from their own underpinning trauma, but also to acknowledge and address their own sexual behaviours. Our specialist settings manage and reduce risk through appropriate supervision and the building of pro-social skills and protective factors. All our work is consistent with the NICE guidance in this specialist field which was updated in 2016.

We achieve this through evidence based therapeutic practice delivered by a highly skilled team.

…people can be confident that the service is well managed …to ensure positive outcomes for young people.

Our Care

Our Care is all theoretically informed and underpinned by the evidence of ‘what works’ with our specific group of boys

Our Education

The role of education is essential in risk reduction and pro-social development and embraces a wide range of academic and therapeutic activities

Our Therapy

Therapy is probably the most misunderstood element of our work as many people think that it is in the 1:1 sessions that all the work is undertaken

Evidence Base

Applying what works, by putting theory and evidence into practice
