At least three police vehicles attended the incident at The Lighthouse in Darwen
Emergency services were called to a children's respite home after a fight broke out between residents.
Lancashire Police said the incident involved a fight between residents which ended up with some staff being injured when they attempted to intervene. A spokesman said there were no serious injuries. A four-bed child and adolescent inpatient service, the home offers "step-down care" for children who are leaving more serious mental health wards, giving them extra support before they return to the community.
Although inspectors praised The Lighthouse for being safe and for the way staff treat residents with compassion and respect they also raised several concerns including the lack of transport and ongoing issues with the use of restraint.
