Across Somerset
Centred on the county town of Taunton and well-connected along the M5, our Somerset cluster keeps children within reach of education, contact and the wider Keys clinical network across the South West.
For children’s safety we describe the areas we support rather than naming individual children’s homes or addresses. We also accept referrals from beyond Somerset.
