Welcome

We put the needs of children, young people and their families and carers at the heart of everything we do.

CF Group is now part of Keys Group. Our education and care services have transitioned into Keys Inclusion Pathways, offering trauma-informed and technology-enabled learning opportunities for children and young people who are unable to access traditional or specialist school settings.

Our residential provision is now part of Keys Children’s Residential Homes, where young people benefit from Keys’ specialist clinical offering and enhanced support.

Established and managed by education and social care professionals, our services remain responsive, reliable and adaptable. Our field teams are safely recruited, inducted and trained to deliver a high standard of care and support, overseen by experienced and confident managers.

This website will be closing soon, please view Keys Group's services below.

Thank you both so very much for all the support you have offered **** so far, who knows, paths might cross again. She has had a huge input from you all and I am sure she does very much appreciate all you have done for her, having been there for her on a consistent basis. It has been invaluable to have you both supporting ***** and being there for her through some very difficult times.
