About
Children's residential care in Greater Manchester
Keys supports children and young people placed by local authorities across Greater Manchester . Each home is registered with and inspected by Ofsted, the regulator for children's social care in England.
Homes provide spacious bedrooms, communal living areas, outdoor recreational space, educational resources, and dedicated therapeutic rooms. Placements can be single-occupancy or dual, and homes are four-bedded, giving placement teams choice across the county and the wider North East.
