About

Children's residential care in South West

Places Available

Keys runs therapeutic children's residential homes across the South West for young people with a variety of risk-taking behaviour and identified needs who need a stable, supportive home. Provision includes single-occupancy and dual placements in multi-bed homes, in single and mixed-gender settings.

Keys supports children and young people placed by local authorities across the South West. Each home is registered with and inspected by CIW, the regulator for children's social care in Wales.

Homes provide spacious bedrooms, communal living areas, outdoor recreational space, educational resources, and therapeutic rooms. Placements are dual occupancy, and homes range from two to five beds, giving placement teams choice across the county and the wider South West.
